3. To configure the console UI idle time out parameter, do the following:

a. Type C to select Set Console UI Time Out.

The following prompt is displayed:

Enter console idle timeout>

b. Enter a number for the timeout value. The range is 0 to 60 minutes,

and the default is 5 minutes. A timeout value to 0 causes the switch
to never time out a local management session.

The console UI idle time out parameter specifies the length of time
a local management session can be inactive before the
management software automatically ends it. This feature prevents
unauthorized individuals from configuring the switch if you leave
your management workstation unattended.

This parameter applies to a local management session but not to a
remote SNMP or web management session. An SNMP
management session remains active as long as the network
management application is active. A web browser management
session remains active as long as your web browser is open.

Note

If you select 0, you must always remember to properly log off from a
local management session when you are finished to prevent
blocking future management sessions with the switch.

4. To configure the Telnet UI idle time out parameter, do the following:

a. Type T to select Set Telnet UI Time Out.

The following prompt is displayed:

Enter console idle timeout>

b. Enter a number for the timeout value. The range is 0 to 60 minutes,

and the default is 5 minutes. A timeout value to 0 causes the switch
to never timeout a local management session.
