To set the parameters, perform the following steps:
-
In privileged EXEC mode, set the display length.
device# terminal length 30
This example sets the lines to be displayed
on the terminal session at 30 lines.
Note
Setting the terminal length to 0
removes page breaks for the show commands' output.
-
Set the timeout length.
device# terminal timeout 3600
This example sets the timeout of 3600
seconds (60 minutes) for the terminal session.
Note
Specifying a value of 0
allows the terminal session to stay open until the device is rebooted or the
connection is terminated by other means.
-
Access global configuration mode.
device# configure terminal
-
Configure the maximum login attempts to establish a session.
device(config)# password-attributes max-retry 4
This example sets the maximum login attempts of four to establish a session.
-
Set the maximum number of
minutes the user account remains locked when user fails to login within the
maximum login attempts.
device(config)# password-attributes admin-lockout max-lockout-duration 5
This example specifies that the
user account be unlocked after 5 minutes.
Example
The following configuration is the example of the previous steps.
device# terminal length 30
device# terminal timeout 3600
device# configure terminal
device(config)# password-attributes max-retry 4
device(config)# password-attributes admin-lockout max-lockout-duration 5
