Yes, in fact, i set the session-timeout for 1 minutes, i keep working on the
console, the session does not timeout. The moment stop hitting the keys, the
clock starts and I am thrown out of the session in one minute of inactivity.
Interestingly, i came across this documentation which says " The *exec-timeout
*line configuration command can be used to close and clean up an idle menu;
the *session-timeout* command can be used to clean up a menu with an open
connection." See
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122cgcr/ffun_
c/ffcprt1/fcf004.htm#1001601
I have not fully understand what this means though... See if you guys could
make something out of it.
