Table 1-1 Functions provided by password control 

Password aging time setting: Users can set the aging 
time for their passwords. If a password ages out, its user 
must change it, otherwise the user cannot log into the 
device. 

All passwords 

Password change: After a password ages out, the user 
can change it when logging into the device. 

Password aging 

Alert before password expiration: Users can set their 
respective alert time. If a user logs into the system when 
the password is about to age out (that is, the remaining 
usable time of the password is no more than the set alert 
time), the switch will alert the user to the forthcoming 
expiration and prompts the user to change the password 
as soon as possible.

password only when the password is not shorter than its 
minimum length.

History password recording function: The password 
configured and once used by a user is called a history 
(old) password. The switch is able to record the user 
history password. Users cannot successfully replace 
their passwords with history passwords.
