Setting Time Limits For User Input; Configuring Cli Messages - Juniper SYSTEM BASICS - CONFIGURATION GUIDE V 11.1.X Configuration Manual

Setting Time Limits for User Input

You can specify a time interval that the CLI waits for user input on the console or
vty lines. To do so:
1.
2.
exec-timeout

Configuring CLI Messages

You can configure text banners for the CLI to display to users at different times in
the connection process.
banner
host1(config-line)#timeout login response 15
Use the no version to restore the default interval, 30 seconds.
See timeout login response.
Access the line configuration mode using either the console or vty keyword.
Specify the time during which the user must enter information. For example:
host1(config)#line vty 0
host1(config-line)#exec-timeout 4192 13
Use to set the time interval that the console or vty lines wait for expected user
input.
If the interval passes and the user has not responded, the system closes the
session or lines.
Specify a time limit in the range 0–35791 minutes, and optionally specify the
number of seconds.
By default, there is no time limit.
Example
host1(config-line)#exec-timeout 4192 13
Use the no version to remove the time limit.
See exec-timeout.
Use to configure message-of-the-day (MOTD), login, or exec banner to be
displayed by the CLI:
motd Displays the banner when a console or vty connection is initiated.
login Displays the banner before any user authentication (line or RADIUS
authentication). The banner is also displayed if user authentication is not
configured.
