Setting the Administrator Inactivity Timeout

Setting the Administrator Inactivity Timeout
To help prevent unauthorized access to the swtich, the adminstrator account will timeout and log
off after 3 minutes of inactivity. To change the inactivity timeout, from the global configuration
context issue the following commands:
RFS7000(config)# line console 0
RFS7000(config)# exec-timeout
The valid timeout range is between 1-35791 minutes
Basic Conventions
The following are conventions to keep in mind while working within the CLI:
•
Always use ? at the end of the command to view if there are any further sub modes that can be
used. If so, type the first few alphabets of the submode and press the tab key. Continue using
? until you reach the final sub-submode.
•
Pre-defined CLI commands and keywords are case-insensitive:
cfg = Cfg = CFG
.
•
Commands can be entered in uppercase, lowercase, or mixed case. Only passwords are case
sensitive.
NOTE
CLI commands starting with
#
, at the
RFS7000#
prompt, are ignored and are not executed. Any
leading space before a CLI command is ignored in execution.
Using CLI Editing Features and Shortcuts
A variety of shortcuts and editing features are available. The following sections describe these
features:
•
Moving the Cursor on the Command Line
•
Completing a Partial Command Name
•
•
Re-displaying the Current Command Line
•
Transposing Mistyped Characters
•
Moving the Cursor on the Command Line
The following table shows the key combinations or sequences to move the cursor on the command
line to make corrections or changes. Ctrl indicates the Control key, which must be pressed
simultaneously with its associated letter key. Esc indicates the Escape key, which must be pressed
first, followed by its associated letter key. Keys are not case sensitive. Many letters used for CLI
navigation and editing were chosen to provide an easy means of remembering their functions.
