Usage Guidelines
•
This command is only available to the admin user because the admin user account is the only account
protected from any type of lockout attempt.
•
If the lockout threshold is set to zero (the default), there is no limit to the number of failed login
attempts allowed.
•
A user account remains locked out for the length of the lockout duration time period; at the end of this
time, the account is automatically unlocked.
•
If the lockout duration time period is set to zero, only the admin user or a user with read/write AAA
privileges can unlock a locked user account. An account is unlocked by changing the user account
password or with the
user lockout unlock command.
•
The lockout threshold time period is a global lockout setting that is applied to all passwords configured
on the switch.
•
Lockout settings are saved automatically ; that is, these settings do not require the write memory , copy
running-config working , or configuration snapshot command to save user settings over a reboot.
