Basic Configuration
The Invalid Access Lockout configuration menus allow you to select the following parameters:
•
Serial Port Protection:
Enables/Disables the Invalid Access Lockout function for the
serial SetUp Port and selects lockout parameters. When this item is enabled and excessive
Invalid Access attempts are detected at the SetUp Port, the SetUp Port will be locked until
the user-defined Lockout Duration period elapses, or until the /UL command is issued.
•
Serial Port Protection:
Enables/Disables the Invalid Access Lockout feature for the
SetUp Port. (Default = Off.)
•
Lockout Attempts:
The number of invalid attempts that must occur in order to
trigger the Invalid Access Lockout feature at the SetUp Port. (Default = 9.)
•
Lockout Duration:
This option selects the length of time that the serial SetUp Port
will remain locked when Invalid Access Lockout occurs. If the duration is set at
"Infinite", then ports will remained locked until the /UL command is issued.
(Default = 30 Minutes.)
•
Telnet Protection:
Enables/Disables and configures the Invalid Access function for Telnet
connections. When this item is enabled and excessive Invalid Access Attempts via Telnet
are detected, then the RPS will lock out the offending MAC address for the user-defined
Telnet Lockout Duration Period or until the /UL command is issued. Note that for Telnet
protection, the lockout trigger is a function of the Telnet Hit Count parameter and the
Telnet Lockout Duration Parameter.
•
Lockout Enable:
Enables/Disables Invalid Access Lockout protection for Telnet
connections. (Default = Off.)
•
Telnet Hit Count:
The number of invalid attempts that must occur during the length
of time specified by the Telnet Lockout Duration period in order to trigger the Invalid
Access Lockout feature for the Telnet protocol. For example, if the Telnet Hit Count
parameter is set to 10 and the Telnet Lockout Duration parameter is set to 30 minutes,
then the RPS will lock out the offending MAC address for 30 minutes when over 10
invalid access attempts occur during any 30 minute long period. (Default = 5.)
•
Telnet Lockout Duration:
This option selects both the length of time that a Telnet
Lockout will remain in effect and also the time period over which invalid access
attempts will be counted. When a Telnet Lockout occurs, the offending MAC address
will be prevented from establishing a Telnet connection to the RPS for the defined
Telnet Lockout Duration period. (Default = 120 Seconds.)
