By default, the lockout threshold number is set to 0; this means that there is no limit to the number of
failed login attempts allowed, even if a lockout window time period exists. To configure a lockout thresh-
old number, use the
user lockout-threshold
command. For example:
-> user lockout-threshold 3
Note that a locked user account is automatically unlocked when the lockout duration time (see
“Configur-
ing the User Lockout Duration Time” on page 7-16
) is reached or the
admin
user manually unlocks the
user account.
Configuring the User Lockout Duration Time
The user lockout duration time specifies the number of minutes a user account remains locked until it is
automatically unlocked by the switch. This period of time starts when the user account is locked out of the
switch. Note that at any point during the lockout duration time, the
admin
user can still manually unlock
the user account.
By default, the user lockout duration time is set to 0; this means that there is no automatic unlocking of a
user account by the switch. The locked user account remains locked until it is manually unlocked by the
admin
user. To configure a lockout duration time, use the
user lockout-duration
command. For example:
-> user lockout-duration 60
Do not configure a lockout duration time that is less than the lockout window time period (see
“Configur-
ing the User Lockout Window” on page 7-15
).
Manually Locking and Unlocking User Accounts
The
user lockout unlock
command is used to manually lock or unlock a user account. This command is
only available to the
admin
user or a user who has read/write access privileges to the switch.
To lock a user account, enter
user lockout
and the username for the account. For example,
-> user lockout j_smith
To unlock a user account, enter
user unlock
and the username for the locked account. For example,
-> user unlock j_smith
In addition to this command, the
admin
user or users with read/write access privileges can change the user
account password to unlock the account.
Note that if a lockout duration time (see
“Configuring the User Lockout Duration Time” on page 7-16
) is
not configured for the switch, then it is only possible to manually unlock a user account with the
user
lockout
command or by changing the user password.
