There is no way to set a server password on a specific port/IP. The only way is to set a server password for masks that users match, no matter which IP/port they connect to.

To see how to do that see allow blocks in the documentation.

Passwording is specific to IP/Hosts connecting, and cannot be done based on port.

Either:

All connections use the same password
No connections use a password (No password required)
Specific IP/Hosts use a specific password (Can have multiples)

Or any combination of the above.

The only way to password one port and not another is to run two IRCd's on the same server and link them together.
