password

:

If the authentication is in the

simple

mode, the password must be in

plain text. If the authentication is in the

cipher

mode, the password can be either

in encrypted text or in plain text. If a plain text password is entered when cipher

mode has been selected, the password will be displayed in the configuration

settings as encrypted. A plain text password is a sequential character string of no

more than 16 digits, for example, 3Com918. The length of an encrypted password

must be 24 digits and in encrypted text, for example,

_(TT8F]Y\5SQ=^Q`MAF4<1!!.

Description

Use the

super password

command to configure the password for changing the

user from a lower level to a higher level. To prevent unauthorized users from illegal

intrusion, user ID authentication is performed when users switch from a lower

level to a higher level. For the sake of confidentiality, on the screen the user cannot

see the password that he entered. The user has three chances to input valid

password, and then switch to the higher level. Otherwise, the original user level

will remain unchanged. Use the

undo super password

command to cancel the

password settings.

The password in plain text is required when performing authentication, regardless

of whether the configuration is plain text or encrypted text.

Example

To set the password for level 3 to

zbr

, type the following:
