Assigning a Name to the ACE
The hostname is used for the command-line prompts and default configuration
filenames. If you establish sessions to multiple devices, the hostname helps you
track where you enter commands. By default, the hostname for the ACE is
“switch.” To specify a hostname for the ACE, use the host configuration mode
command.
The syntax of this command is as follows:
hostname nam
e
The na
me argument specifies a new hostname for the ACE. Enter a case-sensitive
text string that contains from 1 to 32 alphanumeric characters.
For example, to change the hostname of the ACE from switch to ACE_1, enter the
fo
llowing command:
switch/Admin(config)# hostname ACE_1
ACE_1/Admin(config)#
Configuring an ACE Inactivity Timeout
By default, the inactivity timeout value is 5 minutes. You can modify the length
of time that can occur before the ACE automatically logs off an inactive user by
using the login timeout command in configuration mode. This command
specifies the length of time that a user session can be idle before the ACE
terminates the console, Telnet, or SSH session.
Note The login timeout command setting overrides the terminal session-timeout
setting (see the “Configuring Terminal Display Attributes” section).
The syntax for the login ti
meout command is as follows:
login timeout min
utes
The min
utes argument specifies the length of time that a user can be idle before
the ACE terminates the session. Valid entries are from 0 to 60 minutes. A value
of 0 instructs the ACE never to timeout. The default is 5 minutes.
