Configuring a User Login
Password in Encryption
Mode
Configuring Login
Attempts Limitation and
Failure Processing Mode
When the maximum number of attempts is exceeded, the system operates in one of
the following processing mode:
■locktime: In this mode, the system inhibits the user from re-logging in within a
certain time period. After the period, the user is allowed to log into the switch
again. By default, this time is 120 minutes.
■lock: In this mode, the system inhibits the user from re-logging in forever. The user
is allowed to log into the switch again only after the administrator removes the
user from the user blacklist.
■unlock: In this mode, the system allows the user to log in again.
No inhibition operation is performed for the users who execute the Super command
but fail to log in using the password.
If a user in the blacklist changes his/her IP address, the blacklist will not affect the user
any more when the user logs into the switch.
