By default, the CSS does not have a idle timeout period for all active Telnet,
console, FTP, SSH, and web management sessions. Use the idle timeout
command to globally set the total amount of time all console, Telnet, SSH or FTP
sessions can be active before the CSS terminates them. To set the idle timeout for
all active web management sessions, use the idle timeout web-mgmt command.
Enter a timeout value between 0 and 65535 minutes. By default, the idle timeout
is disabled (set to 0).
To override the idle timeout value for a specific Telnet, console, SSH, or FTP
session, configure the terminal timeout command. Terminal commands are
user-specific; that is, they apply uniquely to each CSS user.
To set an idle timeout value for Telnet, console, SSH, or FTP sessions, enter:
(config)# idle timeout 15
We recommend that you configure the Telnet idle timeout for at least 30 minutes.
Setting this value to 30 minutes:
Cleans up idle Telnet sessions
•
• Helps prevent busy conditions due to a high number of active Telnet session
To disable the terminal timeout for Telnet, console, SSH, or FTP sessions, enter:
(config)# no idle timeout
To set an idle timeout value for all active web management sessions, enter:
(config)# idle timeout web-mgmt 15
To disable the web management timeout period, enter:
(config)# no idle timeout web-mgmt
