Description
Use the password-control enable commands to enable the password control function
of the system. The specific usage is as follows:
Use the password-control aging enable command to enable password aging. By
default, the password aging time is 90 days.
Use the password-control length enable command to enable the limitation of the
minimum password length. By default, the minimum password length is 10 characters.
Use the password-control history enable command to enable history password
recording. When a login password expires, the system will require the user to input a
new password and will save the old password automatically to a file in the flash memory.
By recording the history passwords, the system can prevent the user from using a
single password or repeated passwords when modifying a password, thus to enhance
the security.
Use the undo password-control { aging | length | history } enable command to
disable password control.
By default, all the above-mentioned password control functions are enabled.
Related command: password-control.
