• If the snapshot command is used to capture the switch configuration, the text of the password is not 

displayed in the file. Instead an authentication key is included in the file.

• The password command does not require a password in-line; instead, after the command is entered, 

the system displays a prompt for the password. Enter any alphanumeric string. (The string displays on 
the screen as asterisks.) The system displays a prompt to verify the new password.

• A new password cannot be identical to the current password; it cannot be identical to any of the three 

passwords that preceded the current password.

• The password may be up to 47 characters. The default minimum password length is 8 characters.

• Note that the exclamation point (!) is not a valid password character. In addition, specifying an aster-

isk (*) as one or more characters in a password is allowed as long as every character is not an asterisk. 
For example, password **123456** is allowed; password ******** is not allowed.

• Password settings are saved automatically; that is, the 

command is not required to save password settings over a reboot.
