Note
After you log in, the switch maintains your session for 10 minutes (600 seconds) after the last keystroke
is entered. If the session is idle longer than 600 seconds, the session is terminated.
Tip To restart an automatically terminated session, press Return. Depending on the application you use to
log in to the switch, you may be prompted for a login name and password.
To change the session time-out period, enter the timeout command as follows:
Step 4
unknown.7.PXM.a > timeout <seconds>
Replace seconds with the number of seconds you want the session to remain active before it times out.
The maximum value is 600. To disable timeout, enter 0 seconds. The switch uses the new timeout value
until you terminate the session. Each time a new session is started, the timeout value returns to the
default value, 600 seconds.
Once you have completed the procedure above, you have established a CLI management session. You
can use a CLI management session to configure or monitor the switch.

configured user with the corresponding password.

The switch prompt for FRSM-2CT3 cards uses a different card name in the prompt. This is to
distinguish FRSM-2CT3 cards from FRSM-8T1 cards. The FRSM-2CT3 cards use the name
