The router module provides two levels of password protection:
The Manager password controls access to the following system
manager tasks:
• Assigning a user password.
• Saving a modified configuration.
• Booting the router.
• Resetting statistics or MIB variables.
• Enabling or disabling services.
• Downloading a configuration.
• Changing a password.
• Changing the date and time.
• Using the Fget, Fput, Ping, Atping, and Test commands.
The User password controls viewing of statistics, event log, MIB
variables, and configuration parameters.
Caution Passwords are optional. If no password is specified, anyone can access
the router for viewing, booting, changing the configuration, resetting
statistics or variables, and using various commands.
To specify a password, use the NCL Password command:
1. At the NCL prompt, enter
password [Enter].
2. Type [M] to specify a Manager password, or [U] to specify a User
