Set Commands

2.8.1 Set Password

The set password command sets the console password for the

first time or changes an existing password. It is necessary to set

the password only if the system is going to operate in secure

mode.

Syntax: set password

The password length must be between 15 and 30 alphanumeric characters.

If a password has not been set and the set password command is issued, the

console prompts for a password and verification.

If a password has been set and the set password command is issued, the

console prompts for the new password and verification, then prompts for the old

password. The password is unchanged if the validation password entered does

not match the existing password in the NVRAM.
