Usage
Guidelines
The exec-timeout command is used to set the time the Telnet session waits for an idle VTY session,
before it time outs. An exec-timeout setting of 0 (zero) causes the Telnet session to wait indefinitely.
Examples To configure the wait interval for the console session:
switch(config)#line console 0
switch(conf-line)#exec-timeout 2 30
switch(config)#line vty 0 9
switch(conf-line)#exec-timeout 30 30
