Configures a moving period of time (observation window) during which failed login attempts are counted

window time period.

Usage Guidelines
•
This command is only available to the admin user because the admin user account is the only account
protected from any type of lockout attempt.
•
Specify 0 with this command to disable the observation window function. This means that failed login
attempts will never age out; the number of failed attempts is never decremented.
•
Do not configure an observation window time period that is greater than the lockout duration time
period.
•
If the number of failed login attempts exceeds the number of failed attempts allowed before the obser-
vation window time expires, then the user account is locked out of the switch.
•
The observation window time period is a global lockout setting that is applied to all passwords config-
ured on the switch.
•
Lockout settings are saved automatically.
Examples
-> user lockout-window 500
