HP Moonshot Switch Module CLI Command Reference
passwords lock-out
Use this command to strengthen the security of the switch by locking user accounts that have failed login due
to wrong passwords. When a lockout count is configured, a user that is logged in must enter the correct
password within that count. Otherwise the user will be locked out from further switch access. Only a user with
read/write access can re-activate a locked user account. Password lockout does not apply to logins from the
serial console. The valid range is 1-5. The default is 0, or no lockout count enforced.
no passwords lock-out
Use this command to set the password lock-out count to the default value.
passwords strength-check
Use this command to enable the password strength feature. It is used to verify the strength of a password
during configuration.
no passwords strength-check
Use this command to set the password strength checking to the default value.
passwords strength maximum consecutive-characters
Use this command to set the maximum number of consecutive characters to be used in password strength. The
valid range is 0-15. The default is 0. Minimum of 0 means no restriction on that set of characters.
