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.
