[on | off]
Description
Disables an account after the user has 3 consecutive failed login attempts.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A
Usage Guidelines
This command applies to sessions at the console port of the switch as well as all other sessions and to
user-level and administrator-level accounts. This command locks out the user after three consecutive
failed login attempts; the user’s account must be specifically re-enabled by an administrator.
Using the
off
option resets the account to allow innumerable consecutive failed login attempts, which
is the system default. The system default is that three failed consecutive login attempts terminate the
particular session, but the user may launch another session; there is no lockout feature by default.
NOTE
The default admin account and failsafe accounts are never locked out, no matter how many consecutive
failed login attempts.
Example
The following command enables the account finance for lockout. After three consecutive failed login
attempts, the account is subsequently locked out:
configure account finance password-policy lockout-on-login-failures on
