Cisco Login Failure Rate - Part 2
Cisco Login Failure Rate - Part 2 of 3
This lesson we will look at Cisco Login Failure Rate. Supposedly this feature allows you to configure the number of allowable unsuccessful login attempts on your Cisco devices. I say 'supposedly' because I have not been able to get this to work. Ive tried with routers running 12.4(12.4(15)T10) and 12.3(12.3(14)T7) and could not get this to work. I tried login local and just using a simple vty password. No logging. No 15-second delay. Nothing.
So this is good to know for the CCNA Security exam and maybe it will work with your flavor of IOS, but I could not get this to work. If you cannot get this to work in production, you might want to check out the login block feature instead.
