Configure the Console Idle Privileged EXEC Timeout

This section describes how to configure the console line's idle privileged EXEC timeout. By default, the
privileged EXEC command interpreter waits 10 minutes to detect user input before timing out.
When you configure the console line, you can also set communication parameters, specify autobaud
connections, and configure terminal operating parameters for the terminal that you are using. For more
information on configuring the console line, see the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals and
Network Management Configuration Guide. In particular, see the "Configuring Operating
Characteristics for Terminals" and "Troubleshooting and Fault Management" chapters.
