Configuring Login Parameters Logging Into the Switch

Configuring Login Parameters
You can set the number of times a user may attempt unsuccessfully to log in to the switch’s CLI by using
the session login-attempt command as follows:
-> session login-attempt 5
In this example, the user may attempt to log in to the CLI five (5) times unsuccessfully. If the user
attempts to log in the sixth time, the switch will break the TCP connection.
You may also set the length of time allowed for a successful login by using the session login-timeout
command as follows:
-> session login-timeout 20
In this example, the user must complete the login process within 20 seconds. This means that the time
between a user entering a login name and the switch processing a valid password must not exceed 20
seconds. If the time-out period exceeds, the switch will break the TCP connection.
Configuring the Inactivity Timer
You can set the amount of time that a user must be inactive before the session times out. To change the
setting, enter the session timeout command with the type of session and the desired number of minutes.
For example:
-> session cli timeout 8
-> session ftp timeout 5
-> session http timeout 10
