5. Enter boot system flash primary at the prompt. On ICX 6430 and ICX 6450 devices, enter
boot_primary.
6. After the console prompt reappears, assign a new password.
Displaying the SNMP community string
If you want to display the SNMP community string, enter the following commands.
Brocade(config)#enable password-display
Brocade#show snmp server
The enable password-display command enables display of the community string, but only in the
output of the show snmp server command. Display of the string is still encrypted in the
startup-config file and running-config. Enter the command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI.
Specifying a minimum password length
By default, the Brocade device imposes no minimum length on the Line (Telnet), Enable, or Local
passwords. You can configure the device to require that Line, Enable, and Local passwords be at
least a specified length.
For example, to specify that the Line, Enable, and Local passwords be at least 8 characters, enter
the following command.
Brocade(config)#enable password-min-length 8
Syntax: enable password-min-length <number-of-characters>
The <number-of-characters> can be from 1 – 48.
