Usage Information

To control access to command modes, use this command to define a password for a level and use the privilege level (CONFIGURATION mode) command.

Passwords must meet the following criteria:

Start with a letter, not a number.
Passwords can have a regular expression as the password. To create a password with a regular expression in it, use CNTL + v prior to entering regular expression. For example, to create the password abcd]e, you type “ abcd CNTL v ]e”. When the password is created, you do not use the CNTL + v key combination and enter “ abcd]e”.

NOTE: The question mark (?) and the tilde (~) are not supported characters.
