Quitting from a Local Management Session
To quit a local management session, return to the Main Menu and type Q
for Quit. When you are finished managing the switch, make sure to exit
from a management session. Quitting from a local session prevents
unauthorized changes to the switch’s configuration if you leave your
workstation unattended.
Note
A local management session automatically times out if there is no
management activity during a pre-defined length of time referred to
as the timeout period. The timeout feature is intended to protect the
parameter settings on the switch from unauthorized changes should
you leave your management station unattended during a
management session. The default timeout value is 10 minutes. To
change the timeout default value, refer to “Setting the User Interface
Configuration” on page 38.
