Setting up local user accounts

Enhanced login lockout

The CLI provides up to three login attempts. If a user fails to login after three attempts, that user is
locked out (disabled). If desired, you can increase or decrease the number of login attempts before
the user is disabled. To do so, enter a command such as the following at the global CONFIG level of
the CLI.

TurboIron(config)#enable user disable-on-login-failure 7

Syntax: enable user disable-on-login-failure <1 – 10>

To re-enable a user that has been locked out, do one of the following:

Reboot the device to re-enable all disabled users.

Enable the user by entering the following command.

TurboIron(config)#username sandy enable

Example

Syntax: username enable

Setting passwords to expire

You can set a user password to expire. Once a password expires, the administrator must assign a
new password to the user. To configure a user password to expire, enter the following.

TurboIron(config)#username sandy expires 20

Syntax: username expires

Enter 1 – 365 for number of days. The default is 90 days.

Example

Requirement to accept the message of the day

If a message of the day (MOTD) is configured, a user will be required to press the Enter key before
he or she can login. MOTD is configured using the banner motd command.

There are no new CLI commands for this feature.
