Setting an Idle Timeout for the Web Session
You can set a timeout period for the vNet device’s Web
interface session, after which the session will automatically
close. This protects you from others altering your vNet device
configuration settings if you accidentally leave the vNet
device configuration session open.
You can also specify the HTTP TCP port number used by
Web browsers to display the vNet device’s Web interface. In
most circumstances you will not need to change the default
HTTP TCP port number (80), unless port 80 is blocked.
To set the timeout period and HTTP port:
1
From the vNet Configuration and Management interface,
choose
Configuration | Web Interface
.
2
In the Web Interface screen, choose to either select
(recommended) or deselect the option
End session
after timeout
.
3
Enter the session timeout period in minutes.
4
Enter the HTTP port you want to use (change the default,
80, only if it is blocked).
5
Click
Apply
.
6
If the TCP port number was changed, a message will
appear stating that the vNet device needs to be
restarted. Click on the

link to restart the device.
