Setting the Idle-Timeout
Setting the Idle-Timeout
Use the idle-timeout to further ensure the device configuration security. Telnet
and GUI management sessions are monitored for activity. If a management
session is idle beyond the specified idle-timeout, the telnet connection is closed
or the Web GUI connection or serial console connection is logged out. The default
timeout period is 15 minutes.
In the following example, the idle-timeout period is changed to 10 minutes.
1.
Initiate a management session as described previously.
2.
Enter Privileged and Configuration modes.
SCA> enable
SCA# configure
(config[myDevice])#
3.
Reset the timeout period using the following command.
(config[myDevice])# password idle-timeout 10
(config[myDevice])#
4.
Verify the keepalive information by entering the show password command.
(config[myDevice])# show password
...
Password Idle Timeout
: 10 minutes
5.
Return to Privileged mode.
(config[myDevice])# end
SCA#
6.
Save the configuration to flash memory. If not saved, the configuration is lost
during a power cycle or when the reload command is used.
SCA# write flash
