API Guide

Usage
Information
By default, the password must be at least nine alphanumeric characters. Only the following special
characters are supported:
! # % & ' ( ) ; < = > [ ] * + - . / : ^ _
Enter the password in clear text. It is converted to SHA-512 format in the running configuration. For
backward compatibility with OS10 releases 10.3.1E and earlier, passwords entered in MD-5, SHA-256, and
SHA-512 format are supported.
You cannot assign a privilege level higher than privilege level 1 to a user with the netoperator role and
higher than privilege level 2 for a sysadmin, secadmin, and netadmin roles.
To increase the required password strength, use the password-attributes command. The no
version of this command deletes the authentication for a user.
Supported on the MX9116n and MX5108n switches in Full Switch mode starting in release 10.4.0E(R3S).
Also supported in SmartFabric mode starting in release 10.5.0.1.
