Command Usage
• When the logon attempt threshold is reached, the system interface
becomes silent for a specified amount of time before allowing the next
logon attempt. (Use the
silent-time
command to set this interval.)
When this threshold is reached for Telnet, the Telnet logon interface
shuts down.
• This command applies to both the local console and Telnet
connections.
Example
To set the password threshold to five attempts, enter this command:
Console(config-line)#exec-timeout 120
Console(config-line)#
Console(config-line)#password-thresh 5
Console(config-line)#
