As of LCOS 10.80 the maximum length of the main device password has been increased to 128 characters. This has also been adjusted for other administrators and SNMP users.
Special attention should be paid to the WLC with managed access points in case of password synchronization. If the longer password is used on the WLC, all of the managed access points must also operate LCOS 10.80. In this case, it is no longer possible to locally log in to access points with less than LCOS 10.80.
The above information only applies if the new option of using more than 16 characters in the password is used.
Important: Please note that a firmware downgrade to a version less than LCOS 10.80 with passwords longer than 16 characters is not supported.
