SYSTEM SET CONSOLE
Syntax
system set console timeout= value
Parameter
timeout Specifies the console timer in minutes. The range is 0 to 60
minutes. The default is 10 minutes.
Privilege Levels
Administrator and read-write.
Description
This command is used to set the console timer. This parameter controls
the amount of time (in minutes) the management software waits before it
automatically ends inactive local and remote management sessions. If
there is no management activity for the duration of the timer, the
management module automatically logs off the management session. This
security feature is used to prevent unauthorized individuals from using
your management station to alter the configuration settings of the media
converter chassis if you step away from your system during a
management session.
A value of 0 (zero) disables the console timer so that inactive
management sessions are never timed out. This value should be used
with caution. If you disable the console timer, you must remember to
always log off after every local and remote management session of the
media converter. Otherwise. future management sessions may be
blocked.
To view the current console timer setting, refer to “SYSTEM SHOW
CONSOLE” on page 68.
Note
The console timer is independent of the management module’s date
and time and operates regardless of whether the date and time are
set.
Example
This command sets the console timer to 25 minutes:
system set console timeout=25
