# login console

## Syntax

```
[no] login console
```

## Syntax Description

<table><thead><tr><th width="129">Keyword</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>no</code></td><td>(Optional) Don't require a username and password on the serial port.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Defaults

A username and password is not required on the serial port by default.

## Usage Guidelines

Some Island models have a serial port which provides direct access to the CLI. By default, no credentials are required to access the CLI through the serial port, and full access is granted. When the [login console](/island-router-cli-2.3.2/commands/login-console.md) command is specified, the user will be prompted for a username ("admin" or "user") and password before access is granted.

## Examples

```
login console
```
