Net_Inactivity; Net_Inactivity_Units - Bay Networks 6300 Supplement Manual

Remote Annex 6300 Supplement to the Remote Annex Administrator's Guide for UNIX

net_inactivity

This asynchronous/synchronous port parameter defines the amount of
time that network protocols (e.g., SLIP, PPP, ARAP) running on the serial
line can remain inactive before the port is reset. Valid options are 0 to
255; a zero value indicates off. The default is 0 (off).
Use this parameter in conjunction with net_inactivity_units.
Since the accuracy of the inactivity timer is within five seconds, if
net_inactivity_units is set to seconds, we recommend using a value
for net_inactivity that is a multiple of five.

net_inactivity_units

This asynchronous/synchronous port parameter defines the units of time
used for the port's inactivity timer. Valid options are minutes or seconds.
The default is minutes.
Use this parameter in conjunction with net_inactivity.
If you are using an ISDN line, it is important to set net_inactivity to a
small value, such as 30, and net_inactivity_units to seconds;
otherwise, you may incur high costs from your ISDN service
provider.
To set an inactivity timer of two minutes, set:
net_inactivity_units=minutes
net_inactivity=2
