To manage password security for users that have access to the switch management
interface:
1. Use Password Minimum Length to specify the minimum character length of all new
local user passwords.
2. Use Password Aging (days) to specify the maximum time that user passwords are valid, in
days, from the time the password is set. Once a password expires, the user will be required
to enter a new password following the first login after password expiration. A value of 0
indicates that passwords never expire.
3. Use Password History to specify the number of previous passwords to store for prevention
of password reuse. This ensures that each user does not reuse passwords often. A value of
0 indicates that no previous passwords will be stored.
4. Use Lockout Attempts to specify the number of allowable failed local authentication
attempts before the user's account is locked. A value of 0 indicates that user accounts will
never be locked.
