Configuring The Limitation Of Minimum Password Length - 3Com 5500-EI PWR Install Manual

You can configure the password aging time when password aging is not yet enabled, but these
configured parameters will not take effect.
After the user changes the password successfully, the switch saves the old password in a readable
file in the flash memory.
The switch does not provide the alert function for FTP passwords. And when an FTP user logs in
with a wrong password, the system just informs the user of the password error, and it does not
allow the user to change the password.

Configuring the Limitation of Minimum Password Length

This function is used to enable the switch to check the password length when a password is configured.
If the switch finds the length of the input password does not meet the limitation, it informs the user of
this case and requires the user to input a new password.
