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

a. Click the Console UI Time Out field and enter a new value. The

range is 0 to 60 minutes. The default is 5 minutes. A timeout value
to 0 causes the console connection to never time out.

The console idle time out parameter specifies the length of time a
local management session can be inactive before the management
software automatically ends it. The purpose of this parameter is to
prevent unauthorized individuals from configuring the switch
should you leave your management workstation unattended.

This parameter applies to a local management session but not to a
web management session. A web browser management session
remains active so long as your web browser is open.

Note

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

b. Click Apply.

4. To enable or disable an SNMP agent, do the following:

5. To enable or disable the web server, do the following:

a. Click the Web Server parameter and choose Enable or Disable

from the list. The default is Enable. When you enable this
parameter, an individual can manage the switch remotely using a
web browser.

Note

Disabling the web browser automatically ends your remote
management session.
