What is User IP Lockout?

• Prevents brute force login by prohibiting client access to switch management after multiple failed login attempts in a specific time
  
• Switch locks out clients through the source IP address of login attempts

Configuration Steps

• Navigate to SECURITY > Access Control > Account Security > User IP Lockout
  
• Click the ON button to activate this feature
  
• Configure the following settings:

Block Period: Determines how long host IP is unable to reach switch management after lockout
Retry Count: Determines how many failed login attempts before host IP is locked-out
Attempt Timeout: Determines how long the switch starts counting failed login attempts

• Click Apply to save your settings
