Limit concurrent login sessions
To avoid an unlimited number of active sessions on a switch for the same user ID, you can limit the number of console and
remote connections. Log in from a console connection by cabling a terminal emulator to the console serial port on the switch.
Log in to the switch remotely through a virtual terminal line (VTY), such as Telnet and SSH.
Configure the maximum number of concurrent login sessions in CONFIGURATION mode.
OS10(config)# login concurrent-session limit number
limit number Sets the maximum number of concurrent login sessions allowed for a user ID (1 to 12; default 10).
When you configure the maximum number of allowed concurrent login sessions, take into account that:
Each remote VTY connection counts as one login session.
All login sessions from a terminal emulator on an attached console count as one session.
Configure concurrent login sessions
OS10(config)# login concurrent-session limit 4
If you log in to the switch after the maximum number of concurrent sessions are active, an error message displays. To log in to
the system, close one of your existing sessions.
OS10(config)# login concurrent-session limit 4
Too many logins for 'admin'.

Enable login statistics
To monitor system security, allow users to view their own login statistics when they sign in to the system. A large number
of login failures or an unusual login location may indicate a system hacker. Enable the display of login information after a user
successfully logs in; for example:
OS10 login: admin
