No exec - input from this line will not be interpreted by the router as
commands. As far as the lab is concerned, used for the outbound
lines on the terminal server. In real life, useful for async
modems that aren't used for configuration, but for communication.
The term "EXEC" refers to the router's parsing of input from
the line as a command and responding to it.
exec-timeout 0 0 - Never automatically close an inactive EXEC session.
By default, the router will close an open EXEC
connection after 10 minutes of no input. The
0 0 denotes 0 minutes and 0 seconds. You can do the
same thing with "no exec-timeout" but don't lock
yourself out by abbreviating it "no exec"
