
To prevent user access after a specific number of failed logins:
1. From the 'Deny Access On Fail Count' drop-down list, select the number of failed
logins after which the user is prevented access to the device for a user-defined time
(see next step).
2. In the 'Deny Authentication Timer' field, enter the interval (in seconds) that the user
needs to wait before a new login attempt from the same IP address can be done after
reaching the number of failed login attempts (defined in the previous step).
Notes:
•
For security, it's recommended that you change the default username and
password of the pre-configured users (i.e., Security Administrator and Monitor
users).
•
The Security Administrator user can change all attributes of all Web user
accounts. Web users with access levels other than Security Administrator can
change only their password and username.
•
To restore the two Web user accounts to default settings (usernames and
passwords), set the
ini file parameter ResetWebPassword to 1.
•
To log in to the Web interface with a different Web user, click the Log off button
and then login with with a different username and password.
•
You can set the entire Web interface to read-only (regardless of Web user access
levels), by using the
ini file parameter DisableWebConfig (see ''Web and Telnet
Parameters'' on page 691 ).
•
You can define additional Web user accounts using a RADIUS server (see
''RADIUS Authentication'' on page
64 ).

This section describes basic Web user account configuration. This is relevant only if the
two default, pre-configured Web user accounts--Security Administrator ("Admin") and
Monitor ("User")--are sufficient for your management scheme.

currently logged-in Web user:

Notes:
•
The username and password can be a string of up to 19 characters and are case-
sensitive.
•
When only the basic user accounts are being used, up to two users can be
concurrently logged in to the Web interface, and they can be the same user.
