Use the System > Console menu to configure connection parameters for
the switch’s console port. You can access the onboard configuration
program by attaching a VT100 compatible device to the switch’s serial
console port. Management access through the console port is controlled by
various parameters, including a password (only configurable through the
CLI), time outs, and basic communication settings. Note that these
parameters can be configured via the web or CLI interface.

The following parameters are displayed:
◆ Login Timeout – Sets the interval that the system waits for a user to
log into the CLI. If a login attempt is not detected within the timeout
interval, the connection is terminated for the session.
(Range: 0-300 seconds; Default: 0 seconds)
◆ Exec Timeout – Sets the interval that the system waits until user input
is detected. If user input is not detected within the timeout interval, the
current session is terminated. (Range: 0-65535 seconds; Default: 600
seconds)
◆ Password Threshold – Sets the password intrusion threshold, which
limits the number of failed logon attempts. When the logon attempt
threshold is reached, the system interface becomes silent for a
specified amount of time (set by the Silent Time parameter) before
allowing the next logon attempt. (Range: 0-120; Default: 3 attempts)
◆ Quiet Period – Sets the amount of time the management console is
inaccessible after the number of unsuccessful logon attempts has been
exceeded. (Range: 0-65535 seconds; Default: 30 seconds)
