ip ssh authentication-retries
By default, the device attempts to negotiate a connection with the connecting host three times.
Global configuration mode
The ip ssh
authentication-retries command is not applicable on devices that act
as an SSH client. On such devices, when you try to establish an SSH connection
with
the wrong credentials, the session is not established and the connection is
terminated. The device does not check the SSH authentication retry configuration
set
using the ip ssh
authentication-retries command. The command is applicable only to SSH
clients such as PuTTY, SecureCRT, and so on.
The no form of the command
sets the number of retries to the default value of fivce.
The following example sets the authentication retries to 3.
device# configure terminal device(config)# ip ssh authentication-retries 3
