EXEC

TIMEOUT
exec-timeout
Overview
This command sets the interval your device waits for user input from either a
console or VTY connection. Once the timeout interval is reached, the connection is
dropped. This command sets the time limit when the console or VTY connection
automatically logs off after no activity.
The
no
variant of this command removes a specified timeout and resets to the
default timeout (10 minutes).
Syntax
exec-timeout {
<minutes>
} [
<seconds>
]
no exec-timeout
Default
The default for the
exec-timeout
command is 10 minutes and 0 seconds (
exec-timeout 10 0
).
Mode
Line Configuration
Usage
This command is used set the time the telnet session waits for an idle VTY session,
before it times out. An
exec-timeout 0 0
setting will cause the telnet session to
wait indefinitely. The command
exec-timeout 0 0
is useful while configuring a
device, but reduces device security.
If no input is detected during the interval then the current connection resumes. If
no connections exist then the terminal returns to an idle state and disconnects
incoming sessions.
Examples
To set VTY connections to timeout after 2 minutes, 30 seconds if there is no
response from the user, use the following commands:
awplus#
configure terminal
awplus(config)#
line vty 0 32
awplus(config-line)#
exec-timeout 2 30
To reset the console connection to the default timeout of 10 minutes 0 seconds if
there is no response from the user, use the following commands:
awplus#
configure terminal
awplus(config)#
line console 0
awplus(config-line)#
no exec-timeout
