Security Commands

passwords aging
Use the passwords aging command in Global Configuration mode to
implement aging on passwords for local users. When a user’s password
expires, the user is prompted to change it before logging in again. Use the no
form of this command to set the password aging to the default value.
Syntax
passwords aging 1-365
no passwords aging
Default Configuration
The default value is 0.
Command Mode
Global Configuration mode
User Guidelines
A value of 0 days disables password aging. Password aging uses the time-of-day
clock, therefore having an accurate clock source is required. The use on SNTP
is strongly recommended.
Example
The following example sets the password age limit to 100 days.
console(config)#passwords aging 100
passwords history
As administrator, use the passwords history command in Global
Configuration mode to set the number of previous passwords that are stored
for each user account. When a local user changes his or her password, the user
is not able to reuse any password stored in password history. This setting
ensures that users do not reuse their passwords often. The default is 0. Use
the no form of this command to set the password history to the default value
of 0.
