• 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)#password-thresh 5
Console(config-line)#

Console(config-line)#databits 7
Console(config-line)#
