NOTE: When consecutive login attempts are refused from the client IP address, some SSH clients may display the following message: ssh exchange identification: Connection closed by remote host . Table 6. Login Retry Restriction Properties Property iDRAC.IPBlocking.BlockEnable Definition Enables the IP blocking feature. When consecutive failures ( iDRAC.IPBlocking.FailCount ) from a single IP address are encountered within a specific amount of time ( iDRAC.IPBlocking.FailWindow ), all further attempts to establish a session from that address are rejected for a certain timespan ( iDRAC.IPBlocking.PenaltyTime iDRAC.IPBlocking.FailCount ). Sets the number of login failures from an IP address before the login attempts are rejected. iDRAC.IPBlocking.FailWindow iDRAC.IPBlocking.PenaltyTime The timeframe in seconds when the failure attempts are counted. When the failures exceed this limit, they are dropped from the counter. Defines the timespan in seconds when all login attempts from an IP address with excessive failures are rejected. Invalid password credentials To provide security against unauthorized users and denial of service (DoS) attack, iDRAC provides the following before blocking the IP and SNMP traps (if enabled): • Series of sign-in errors and alerts • Increased time intervals with each sequential incorrect login attempt • Log entries NOTE: The sign-errors and alerts, increased time interval for each incorrect login, and log entries are available using any of the iDRAC interfaces such as web interface, Telnet, SSH, Remote RACADM, WSMAN, and VMCLI.
