Inactivity Timer
Type how many minutes a management session can be left idle before the session times out.
The default is 5 minutes. After it times out you have to log in with your password again. Very
long idle timeouts may have security risks. A value of "0" means a management session
never times out, no matter how long it has been left idle (not recommended).
