The set system console idle-timeout command configures the timeout duration for disconnection from a console connection.

Command Syntax

set system console idle-timeout <idle-timeout>

Parameter

Parameter

Description

idle-timeout <idle-timeout>

Specifies the timeout duration for disconnection from a console connection. The value is an integer that ranges from 0 to 2000000, in second.

The default value is 0, indicating that the console connection remains alive until you close it.

Usage Guidelines

If a user logs in to the device and does not perform an operation from the console port, the user interface is occupied unnecessarily. You can run the set system console idle-timeout command to disconnect the user's terminal from the device after the timeout duration.

NOTE:

Configuration changes takes effect immediately after successfully commit.

Example

Configure the timeout duration for disconnection from a console connection to 1800 seconds.
