Exremeware Summit 48si switch not disconnected after 3 time login fail attempt in SSH mode

[Narender_kumar]

Switch version is Extremeware Version 7.8.4.1 patch1-r4

When we try to login switch via SSH with wrong username , after 3rd attempt it should get disconnected but we can see it offering 4th time login attempt.

Same thing if we try with telnet then it disconnected after 3rd attemt.

so please help here if we can do any change in command to check further or any change in switch config , which can help here.

Narender,
I booted up a 48si in the lab and tried this in v7.8.4.1-patch1-4. For both telnet and SSH, I was disconnected after 3 tries as expected. However, this behavior does not appear to be configurable as it is in EXOS (which is what Ron's commands above are from).

The default is three consecutive login attempts before being disconnected. You can disable the account entirely, but that's probably not what you want to do.
The command for this is:

code:

configure account [all | ] password-policy lockout-on-login-failures [on | off]

The default is off. You would have to login from another admin account and use the

code:

clear account lockout

command to unlock the account.

You can also see how many successful and failed attempts there are for a given account.
Summit48si:7 # show accounts
User Name Access LoginOK Failed User Type
---------------- ------ ------- ------ ---------
admin R/W 4 11 Admin
user RO 0 0 User
--------------------------------------------------
(*) - Account lockedHope this helps.

I just noticed you included that in your original post... sorry.
In this case, I'm not sure what the appropriate action is since the product and software have reached end-of-life. I wasn't able to reproduce the problem in the lab and unless someone knows a way to change the configuration for number of login attempts, I don't see that it is possible.
There's always new EXOS-based network gear 🙂

What software version is your 48si running?
