Security Commands 1071
• Maximum number of consecutive numbers (such as 1234).
• Maximum number of repetition of characters or numbers (such as 1111 or
aaaa).
Configuring minimum value of 0 for the above parameters means no
restriction on that set of characters and configuring maximum of 0 means
disabling the restriction (or no limit on the maximum number of course
limited by minimum password length). Implicitly, configuring a minimum
value of 0 means a user may enter a valid password consisting entirely of those
characters unless minimum character class checking is also enabled with
some non-zero minimum strength check values.
The Password strength feature applies to all login passwords (user, line and
enable).
