Description
Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password length is one factor of several that helps to determine strength and how long it takes to crack a password. The shorter the password, the lower the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised. Use of more characters in a password helps to exponentially increase the time and/or resources required to compromise the password.

Check Text (C-217323r1015742_chk)

Review the router configuration to verify that it is compliant with this requirement as shown in the example below. system { … … … login { password { minimum-length 15; } } If the router is not configured to enforce a minimum 15-character password length, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-18548r296548_fix)

Configure the router to enforce a minimum 15-character password length as shown in the example below. [edit system login] set password minimum-length 15
