Configuring the User Lockout Threshold Number
The lockout threshold number specifies the number of failed login attempts allowed during any given
lockout window period of time (see “Configuring the User Lockout Window” on page 9-23). For exam-
ple, if the lockout window is set for 30 minutes and the threshold number is set for 3 failed login attempts,
then the user is locked out when 3 failed login attempts occur within a 30 minute time frame.
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
A locked user account is automatically unlocked when the lockout duration time (see “Configuring the
User Lockout Duration Time” on page 9-25) is reached or the admin user manually unlocks the user
account.
