Usage Guidelines
You can use this command to ensure that a Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH2), or console session is
disconnected if it has been idle for the required length of time. This ensures that there are no hanging
connections.
To change the period of inactivity that triggers the timeout for a Telnet, SSH2, or console session, use
the
configure timezone
command.
To view the status of idle timeouts on the switch, use the
show management
command. The
show
management
command displays information about the switch including the enable/disable state for idle
timeouts. You can configure the length of the timeout interval.
Example
The following command enables a timer that disconnects any Telnet, SSH2, and console sessions after 20
minutes of inactivity:
enable idletimeout
