E5-111-TRAPS-MIB::sysLoginFailure #

User login is failed.

Here is a runbook for the SNMP trap E5-111-TRAPS-MIB::sysLoginFailure:

Meaning #

The E5-111-TRAPS-MIB::sysLoginFailure SNMP trap is generated when a user login attempt fails. This trap indicates that a user has attempted to log in to a device or system, but the login credentials provided were invalid.

Impact #

The impact of this trap is that a user is unable to access the device or system, which may prevent them from performing their job functions or accessing critical resources. Additionally, repeated login failures could be a sign of a security threat, such as a brute-force attack, which could compromise the security of the device or system.

Diagnosis #

To diagnose the cause of this trap, follow these steps:

• Check the device or system logs to identify the username and IP address of the user who attempted to log in.
• Verify that the user’s login credentials are correct and match the expected format.
• Check the device or system configuration to ensure that the user account is not locked out or disabled.
• Review the device or system security logs to see if there are any signs of a brute-force attack or other security threats.

Mitigation #

To mitigate the effects of this trap, follow these steps:

• Inform the user of the login failure and provide guidance on how to correct their login credentials.
• If the user is unable to log in due to a forgotten password, follow the organization’s password reset procedures.
• If the login failure is due to a security threat, take immediate action to lock out the offending IP address and notify the security team.
• Consider implementing additional security measures, such as two-factor authentication or rate limiting, to prevent future login failures.
