Password Login Policy
In order to prevent hackers from cracking the password, Moxa switches allow users to configure a password
for their account and lock the account in the event that the wrong password is entered. The account
password policy requires passwords to be of a minimum length and complexity with a strength check. If
Account Login Failure Lockout is enabled, you will need to configure the Retry Failure Threshold and Lockout
Time parameters. If the number of login attempts exceeds the Retry Failure Threshold, users will need to
wait the number of minutes configured in Lockout Time before trying again.
Network
Network configuration allows users to configure both IPv4 and IPv6 parameters for management access
over the network. The Moxa switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6 and can be managed through either of
these address types.
