Changing the Requirements for Junos OS Plain-Text Passwords

To change the requirements for plain-text passwords, include the password statement at the [edit system login] hierarchy level:

[edit system login]
password {change-type (set-transitions | character-set);change-type (md5 | sha1 | des);maximum-length length;minimum-changes number;minimum-length length;}

Note: These statements apply to plain-text passwords only, not encrypted passwords.
