VI. Configuring the timeout time for password authentication
An authentication process for a user starts when the server obtains the user name and
ends when the password authentication is completed for the user.
If the password authentication is not completed before the authentication times out, the
authentication fails, and the system will terminate the user connection and record the
log information; if the password authentication is completed before the authentication
times out, the user will log in to the switch normally.

6.2.3 System Logging Function

The system can automatically log related information in case of the following events:
When a user logs in successfully, the system will log the user name, IP address,
and VTY number
When a user is prohibited by the ACL rule, the system will log the user's IP
address
When a user fails in authentication, the system will log the user name, IP address,
VTY number, and failure cause
When a user changes his or her password that has expired, the system will log the
password change event
The administrator can query the login information of users based on these log records.
