Console Timeout
This parameter causes the management software to automatically end a
management session if it does not detect any activity from the local or
remote management workstation after the specified period of time. This
security feature can prevent unauthorized individuals from using your
management workstation should you step away from your system while
configuring a chassis. The default console time value is 10 minutes.

Timeout Value
To set a timeout value so that the program will end the session if there has
been no management activity after the timeout value has expired, perform

The System Configuration Menu, shown in Figure 3 on page 28, is

0 (zero) to 32,767 (in minutes). The default console time value is 10
minutes.

only if you end the session yourself. If you enter 0, you must always

subsequent remote sessions and software downloads to the
chassis.

or remote management session.
