Gigabit Ethernet Management Interface Overview

The router provides an Ethernet management port named GigabitEthernet0.
The purpose of this interface is to allow users to perform management tasks on the router; it is an
interface that should not, and often cannot, forward network traffic, but can be used to access the router
via Telnet and SSH to perform management tasks on the router. The interface is most useful before a
router has begun routing, or in troubleshooting scenarios when other forwarding interfaces are inactive.
The following aspects of the management Ethernet interface should be noted:

OL-32376-02
The router has one management Ethernet interface named GigabitEthernet0.
IPv4, IPv6, and ARP are the only routed protocols supported for the interface.
The interface provides a way to access the router even if forwarding interfaces are not functional, or
the Cisco IOS is down.
The management Ethernet interface is part of its own VRF. See the
Aggregation Services Routers Software Configuration Guide
Performing the Initial Configuration on the Router
Purpose
Sets the idle privileged EXEC timeout, which is the interval
that the privileged EXEC command interpreter waits until
user input is detected.
The example shows how to specify no timeout. Setting the
exec-timeout value to 0 will cause the router to never log out
once logged in. This could have security implications if you
leave the console without manually logging out using the
disable command.
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Displays the running configuration file.
Verify that you have configured the idle privileged EXEC
timeout correctly.
