password-attributes max-retry lockout-period console-exempt

Configures a maximum number of consecutive failed login attempts, the lockout period, and console login exemption for the user ID.

Syntax
password-attributes {[max-retry number] [lockout-period minutes] [console-exempt]}
Parameters
  • max-retry number — (Optional) Sets the maximum number of consecutive failed login attempts for a user before the user is locked out, from 0 to 16.
  • lockout-period minutes — (Optional) Sets the amount of time that a user ID is prevented from accessing the system after exceeding the maximum number of failed login attempts, from 0 to 43,200.
  • console-exempt—Applicable only if the user lockout feature is enabled. Enables the user to log in through the console, even though the user ID is blocked because of existing lockout.
Default
  • Maximum number of retries: 3
  • Lockout period: 5 minutes
Command Mode
CONFIGURATION
Usage Information

To remove the configured max-retry or lockout-period or console-exempt settings, use the no password-attributes {max-retry | lockout-period | console-exempt} command.

When a user is locked out due to exceeding the maximum number of failed login attempts, other users can still access the switch. If the console-exempt option is enabled, the locked out user can log in through the console, even though the user ID is locked out because of failed password attempts.

NOTE: Dell Technologies recommends that you configure the lockout period to be a nonzero value. If you set this value to zero, no lockout period is configured. Any number of failed login attempts do not lock out a user.
Example 
OS10(config)# password-attributes max-retry 5 lockout-period 30 console-exempt
Supported Releases
10.4.1.0 or later
