Description

Device management includes the ability to control the number of administrators and management sessions that manage a device. Limiting the number of allowed administrators and sessions per administrator based on account type, role, or access type is helpful in limiting risks related to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.

ℹ️ Check

Use "security session limit show -interface cli" to check the concurrent session limit. If the security session limit is not configured to limit the number of concurrent sessions to 3, this is a finding.

✔️ Fix

Configure session limits with the command, "security session limit modify -max-active-limit 3 -interface cli -category application".
