Re: ip ssh retries...interpretation question

Hi Marc,

They ask you to configure the login retries, not the number of login
attempts. So imho "ip ssh authentication-retries 2" is fine. :)
If you have this kind of doubt in the lab itself, it's best to verify
with the proctor on what they are looking for.
