Password Management Commands

The Password Management component supports the features below. 

Passwords are masked when entered by the user and in the running config.

The administrator has the option of requiring user passwords to be a 

minimum length. The administrator can choose to have the switch enforce a 

minimum length between 8 and 64 characters. The default minimum length 

is 8 although there is no default password (zero length string). 

Keeping a history of previous passwords ensures that users cannot reuse 

passwords often. The administrator can configure the switch to store up to 10 

of the last passwords for each user. The default operation is that no history is 

stored.

The switch can implement an aging process on passwords and require users to 

change them when they expire. The administrator can configure the switch to 

force a password change between 1 and 365 days. By default, password aging 

is disabled. When a password expires, the user must enter a new password 

before continuing.

The administrator may choose to strengthen the security of the switch by 

enabling the user lockout feature. A lockout count between 1 and 5 attempts 

can be configured. When a lockout count is configured, then a user that is 

logging in must enter the correct password within that count. Otherwise, that 

user is locked out form further remote switch access. Only an administrator 

with read/write access can reactivate that user. The user lockout feature is 

disabled by default. The user lockout feature applies to all users on all ports.
