system administration. With DEFINITY Release 5r, port types can be:
■ SYSAM-LCL (SYSAM local port)
■ SYSAM-RMT (SYSAM remote port)
■ MAINT
■ SYS-PORT (system ports)
— Total: Measurements totaled for all the above port types.

attempting party submitted an invalid login ID or password while accessing
the given port type.
— Invalid Login IDs: The total number of unsuccessful login attempts where
the attempting party submitted an invalid login while accessing the given

disconnected automatically by the switch because the threshold for
consecutive invalid login attempts had been exceeded for the given port
type. The threshold is three attempts.
— Login Security Violations: The total number of login security violations for
the given port type. As with barrier code attempts, the user can define the
meaning of a security violation by setting two parameters administratively:
■ The number of unsuccessful logins
■ The time interval
— Login Trivial Attempts: The total number of times a user connected to the
system and gave no input to the login sequence.
The Security Violations Detail report provides system management login data per
login identification. It relates only to system administration. This report has the
following fields:
— Login ID: The login identification submitted by the person attempting to
login. Login IDs include the valid system login IDs.
— Port Type: The type of port where login attempts were made. DEFINITY
Release 5r has the following ports:
