Line configuration
| Release | Modification | 11.0 | This command was introduced. |
|---|
This command terminates the connection after the specified time period has elapsed, regardless of whether the connection is being used at the time of termination. You can specify an absolute-timeout value for each port. The user is given 20 seconds notice before the session is terminated. You can use this command in conjunction with the logout-warning command, which notifies the user of an impending logout.
You can set this command and an AppleTalk Remote Access Protocol (ARAP) timeout for the same line; however, this command supersedes any timeouts set in ARAP. Additionally, ARAP users will receive no notice of any impending termination if you use this command.
The following example sets an interval of 60 minutes on line 5:
line 5 absolute-timeout 60
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| logout-warning | Warns users of an impending forced timeout. |
| session-timeout | Sets the interval for closing the connection when there is no input or output traffic. |
