This command specifies that the user is prevented from changing their password for seven days from the

Configuring Global User Lockout Settings
The following user lockout settings configured for the switch apply to all user accounts:
• Lockout window—the length of time a failed login attempt is aged before it is no longer counted as a
failed attempt.
• Lockout threshold—the number of failed login attempts allowed within a given lockout window period

• Lockout duration—the length of time a user account remains locked until it is automatically unlocked.
