Timeout.
From the
Password
screen, press
<RETURN>
for the
Timeout
screen.
Timeout may be useful to avoid connection problems due to multiple sessions
(for example, you may start a local session and not exit the system before
attempting a Telnet session later).
Your
switch
allows one management session at a time. The
timeout
option
will automatically end the session if there is no activity for the length of time
you have specified (in minutes).
That is, if you have entered a value the
Activity Monitor
subscreen
(accessed by entering the letters
AC
from the
System Administration
menu) will only run until the designated timeout time is reached. The default,
Ø, disables the timeout function.
Remember, if your switch is in session there is no access to a new session until
the present, active session is terminated.
A session may be terminated in any of three ways:
1.
Timeout.
2.
Rebooting.
3.
Normal session termination using the Quit option.
