Gigabit Ethernet Management Interface Overview
The router provides an Ethernet management port, named GigabitEthernet0.
Command or Action Purpose
Step 1
enable
Example:
Router> enable
Enables privileged EXEC mode.
• Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2
configure terminal
Example:
Router# configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 3
line console 0
Example:
Router(config)# line console 0
Configures the console line and starts the line configuration
command collection mode.
Step 4
exec-timeout minutes [ seconds ]
Example:
Router(config-line)# exec-timeout 0 0
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.
Step 5
end
Example:
Router(config)# end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
show running-config
Example:
Router(config)# show running-config
Displays the running configuration file.
• Verify that you properly configured the idle privileged
EXEC timeout.
