Usage Information

Only the system and security administrators can configure login activity tracking and view the login activity details of other users.

If you enable user login statistics, the system displays the last successful login details of the current user, the details of any failed login attempts by others, and if the current user’s permissions have changed since the last login.

If you use the login statistics time-period days command to set a custom time period, the system only reports the login statistics during that interval.

NOTE Login statistics are not applicable for login sessions that do not use authentication on user names. For example, the system does not report login activity for a telnet session that prompts only a password field.
Example

When you log into the system, it displays a message similar to the following:

$ telnet 10.11.178.14
Trying 10.11.178.14...
Connected to 10.11.178.14.
Escape character is '^]'.
Login: admin
Password:

There were 1 unsuccessful login attempt(s) for user admin in the last 30 day(s).
There were 1 successful login attempt(s) for user admin in the last 30 day(s).

The preceding message shows that the user had previously logged in to the system using the VTY line from 10.11.178.14. It also displays the number of unsuccessful login attempts since the last login and the number of unsuccessful login attempts in the last 30 days.
