passwords lock-out
Use this command to strengthen the security of the switch by locking user accounts that have failed
login due to wrong passwords. When a lockout count is configured, a user that is logged in must enter
the correct password within that count. Otherwise the user will be locked out from further switch
access. Only a user with level 15 access can reactivate a locked user account. Password lockout does not
apply to logins from the serial console. The valid range is 1-5. The default is 0, or no lockout count
enforced.
