Group -
The HP FlexFabric Switch must prohibit password reuse for a minimum of five generations.
Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. To meet password policy requirements, passwords need t...Rule Medium Severity -

Group -
If multifactor authentication is not supported and passwords must be used, the HP FlexFabric Switch must enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one upper-case character be used.
Use of a complex passwords helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisti...Rule Medium Severity -

SRG-APP-000173-NDM-000260
Group -
The HP FlexFabric Switch must enforce 24 hours/1 day as the minimum password lifetime.
Enforcing a minimum password lifetime helps prevent repeated password changes to defeat the password reuse or history enforcement requirement. Restricting this setting limits the user's ability to...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000174-NDM-000261
Group -
The HP FlexFabric Switch must enforce a 60-day maximum password lifetime restriction.
Any password, no matter how complex, can eventually be cracked. Therefore, passwords need to be changed at specific intervals. One method of minimizing this risk is to use complex passwords and p...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000175-NDM-000262
Group -
The HP FlexFabric Switch, when utilizing PKI-based authentication, must validate certificates by constructing a certification path (which includes status information) to an accepted trust anchor.
Without path validation, an informed trust decision by the relying party cannot be made when presented with any certificate not already explicitly trusted. A trust anchor is an authoritative entit...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000177-NDM-000263
Group -
The HP FlexFabric Switch must map the authenticated identity to the user account for PKI-based authentication.
Authorization for access to any network device requires an approved and assigned individual account identifier. To ensure only the assigned individual is using the account, the account must be boun...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000190-NDM-000267
Group -
The HP FlexFabric Switch must terminate all network connections associated with a device management session at the end of the session, or the session must be terminated after 10 minutes of inactivity except to fulfill documented and validated mission requirements.
Terminating an idle session within a short time period reduces the window of opportunity for unauthorized personnel to take control of a management session enabled on the console or console port th...Rule Medium Severity

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
