• threshold - The number of allowed password attempts.
Range: 1-120; 0: no threshold

Command Mode: Line Configuration
Command Usage:
When the logon attempt threshold is reached, the system interface becomes silent for
a specified amount of time before allowing the next logon attempt.
• Use the silent-time command to set this interval.
• When this threshold is reached for Telnet, the Telnet logon interface shuts down.
• This command applies to both the local console and Telnet connections.
Example: To set the password threshold to five attempts, enter this command:
Console(config-line)#password-thresh 5
Console(config-line)#
silent-time
This command sets
the amount of time the
management console
is inaccessible after
the number of

data bits per character. If no parity is required, specify 8 data bits per character.
Example: To specify 7 data bits, enter this command:
Console(config-line)#databits 7
Console(config-line)#
