To disable the default password expiration, use the user password-expiration command with the disable
option:
-> user password-expiration disable
Default password expiration is disabled on the switch.
Specific User Password Expiration
To set password expiration for an individual user, use the user command with the expiration keyword and
the desired number of days or an expiration date. For example:
-> user bert password techpubs expiration 5
This command gives user bert a password expiration of five days.
To set a specific date for password expiration, include the date in mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm format. For example:
-> user bert password techpubs expiration 02/19/2003 13:30
This command sets the password expiration to February 19, 2003, at 1:30pm; the switch will calculate the
expiration based on the system date/time. The system date/time may be displayed through the system date
and system time commands. For more information about the system date/time, see the OmniSwitch 6600
Family Switch Management Guide.
Note. The expiration will be reset to the global default setting (based on the user password-expiration
command) if the user password is changed or the user password-expiration command is entered again.
