Chapter 3 Configuring User Profiles

Configuring User Terminal Parameters

Configuring User Terminal Parameters

You can control the configure the output to the system terminal screen. Use the

terminal

command to configure terminal parameters. These parameters control

output to the system terminal screen. Terminal parameters are user-specific; that
is, they apply uniquely to each CSS user.

Use the

copy profile user-profile

command to add terminal command parameters

to your user profile so that the parameters are used each time you log in.
Otherwise, you must reenter the commands for the parameters to take effect each
time you log in.

This section includes the following topics:

•

Configuring Terminal Idle

•

Configuring Terminal Length

•

Configuring the More Terminal Prompt

•

Configuring Terminal Netmask-Format

•

Configuring Terminal Timeout

Configuring Terminal Idle

By default, the terminal idle time is disabled. Use the

terminal idle

command to

set the length of time a session can be idle before the CSS terminates a console or
Telnet session. This command is available in the User and SuperUser modes.
Enter an idle time between 0 and 65535 minutes. The default value is 0 (disabled).

To set a terminal idle time, enter:

#

terminal idle 15

To restore the terminal idle time to the default state of disabled, enter:

#

no terminal idle
