Setting the number of SSH authentication retries
By default, the Ruckus device attempts to negotiate a connection with the connecting host three times. The number of authentication retries can be changed to between 1 - 5.
NOTE
The
ip ssh authentication-retries command is not applicable on Brocade devices which acts as an SSH client. When the Brocade device acts as an SSH client and when you try to establish an SSH connection with wrong credentials, the session is not be established. 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 like PUTTY, Secure CRT, and so on.
For example, the following command changes the number of authentication retries to 5.
device(config)#ip ssh authentication-retries 5
Syntax: ip ssh interactive--authentication-retries number
