• At the Failed Password Attempts Timespan (in
minutes) [1-1440] field—with the Lockout by User-
name and/or Lockout by IP address option(s)
enabled—enter the number of minutes that defines the
interval in which a user can enter an incorrect pass-
word—as specified in the Allowable Number of Failed
Password Attempts [1-10] field—before being locked
out of the R3000.
NOTE : If the number of failed attempts is 3 and the number of
minutes in the timespan is 10, if any user (one or more) enters an
incorrect password for that same username within the 10-minute
timespan, a lockout would be made for that username on the third
unsuccessful attempt. However, if the third failed login attempt is
made outside of the 10-minute timespan, there would be no lock
out for that username. In a similar scenario for an IP address
(using the same timespan and designated number of failed login
attempts), if any user (one or more) enters an incorrect password
for any username (one or more) using that same machine, a
lockout would be made for that machine's IP address on the third
unsuccessful login attempt. But there would be no lockout for that
IP address if the third failed attempt was made outside of the 10-
minute timespan.
