Password pre-notification interval and post-notification interval rule
After enhanced secure mode is enabled, the switch enforces password expiry. To ensure a user
does not lose access, the switch offers pre- and post-notification messages explaining when the
password will expire.
The administrator can define pre- and post-notification intervals to between one to 99 days.
The system maintains the password with a time stamp for when the password expiration. When you
log in, the system checks the password time stamp and the notification timer values. If the
administrator configures the pre-notification to 30 days, when you log in, the system checks the time
stamp and notification timer values, and if the password expiry is due in 30 days, the system
displays the first notification.
The pre-notification intervals provide messages to warn users that their passwords will expire within
a particular timeframe:
• interval 1—By default, interval 1 is 30 days.
• interval 2—By default, interval 2 is 7 days.
• interval 3—By default, interval 3 is 1 day.
The post-notification intervals provide notification to users that their passwords have expired within a
particular timeframe:
• interval 1—By default, interval 1 is 1 day.
• interval 2—By default, interval 2 is 7 days.
• interval 3—By default, interval 3 is 30 days.
If you do not change the password before the expiry date, the system locks your account. Once
locked, only the administrator can unlock the account. The administrator creates a temporary
password, and then you can login with the temporary password.
System access configuration using ACLI
The section provides procedures to manage system access through configurations such as
usernames, passwords, and access policies.
Enabling ACLI access levels
Enable ACLI access levels to control the configuration actions of various users.
About this task
Important:
Only the RWA user can disable an access level on the switch. You cannot disable the RWA
access level on the switch.
The system preserves these configurations across restarts.
