Example
console(config)# passwords strength max-limit repeated-characters 3
passwords strength minimum character-classes
Use this command to enforce a minimum number of character classes that a
password should contain. Character classes are uppercase letters, lowercase
letters, numeric characters and special characters. The valid range is 0-4. The
default is 0. If a value of 0 is configured then no character class checking is
performed, i.e. for special characters, uppercase characters, lower-case
characters, etc. Configured minimum strength and maximum strength
checking is still performed if configured. Use the no form of this command to
reset the minimum character-classes to the default value.
