Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The device has the following requirements for the password for switching a low-level user to a high-level user:

  • By default, the minimum password length is eight characters. If the password length set by the set password min-length command exceeds eight characters, the value set by this command is the minimum password length.

  • A password must contain two or more types of characters, such as upper-case letters, lower-case letters, digits, and special characters.

    The special characters exclude question marks (?) and spaces.

To ensure security of the password for switching a low-level user to a high-level user, run the undo super password complexity-check disable command to enable password complexity check. In this case, if a specified password fails the password complexity check, the configuration does not take effect. In a scenario where high security is not required, run the super password complexity-check disable command to disable password complexity check.

Precautions

If password complexity check is disabled when a low-level user is switched to a high-level user, a simple password will bring security risks.
