6500 Catalyst Switch - Query

Amin Shaikh · ‎08-13-2008

Hi

I would like to know how to enable timeout session for Cisco 6506 telnet session.. [ Issue is helpdesk login to 6506 and forget it close and the telnet session remains open... due to this after few sessions we are not alowed to telnet ]...

6500#(config)service tcp-keepalives-in

6500#(config)service tcp-keepalives-out

6500#(config)line vty 0 15

6500#(config-line)exec timeout 5 0

This would timeout the connection after 5 minutes of idle time.

Hope that helps.

which only exec-timeout may be in some cases the connection remains open.. for more security configure absolute timeout in 60 minutes.

line vty 0 15

exec-timeout 5 0

absolute-timeout 60
