session-timeout 0
Command Modes Administrator.
Command History
Usage Guidelines Use this command to configure the number of minutes a Telnet or SSH management session (or an
Administrator mode session via the console) can be inactive before it is terminated. By default,
management sessions do not time out.
When an Administrator mode session via the console times out, the console returns automatically to
Monitor mode. If passwords are enabled on the console, the password prompt displays.
A change in the session timeout value is effective at the next time-check interval, and will affect all
currently logged in management sessions as well as future sessions, until the storage router is restarted.
Use the show system command to display the current time out value for management sessions.
Examples The following example allows management sessions to be inactive for 15 minutes before being
terminated.
[SN5428-2A]# session-timeout 15
The following example disables automatic termination of inactive management sessions:
[SN5428-2A]# no session-timeout
nn The number of minutes the management session can be inactive before it is
terminated. By default, management sessions do not timeout.
