Description
Use this command to set the management session timers. The timers are
used by the switch to end inactive management sessions to protect
against unauthorized changes should you leave your management station
unattended during a management session. A management session is
deemed inactive by the switch if there is no management activity for the
duration of a timer.
Local management sessions, which are conducted through the Console
port on the switch, and remote Telnet and SSH sessions have different
timers. The timer for local management sessions is set in the Line Console
mode. The timers for remote Telnet and SSH sessions are set in the
Virtual Terminal Line mode. There is a different timer for each of the ten
VTY lines for remote Telnet and SSH sessions.
