Accessing the Switch
To age out the password after a specified time, issue the following command:
configure account [all | <name>] password-policy max-age [<num_days> | none]
You can block users from employing previously used passwords by issuing the command:
configure account [all | <name>] password-policy history [<num_passwords> | none]
By default, the system terminates a session once the user has 3 consecutive failed login attempts. The
user may then launch another session (which again would terminate after 3 consecutive failed login
attempts). To increase security, you can lock users out of the system entirely after 3 failed consecutive
login attempts. To use this feature, issue the following command:
configure account [all | <name>] password-policy lockout-on-login-failures [on |
off]
NOTE
If you are not working on SSH, you can configure the number of failed logins that trigger lockout, using the
configure cli max-failed-logins <num-of-logins>
failed logins that terminate the particular session.)
Once locked out (using the
command), the user's account must be specifically re-enabled by an administrator. To re-enable a
locked-out account, issue the following command:
clear account [all | <name>] lockout

NOTE
The default admin account and failsafe accounts are never locked out, no matter how many consecutive failed login
attempts.
