session-timeout is about the telnet connection initated FROM the router that
was configured with this command, when connected through telnet (not
console) on that router
For example I telnet to R4 where I have configured session-timeout 1 on all
line vty . Then any telnet connection initiated from R4 will be droped ,
returned to exec mode, if there is no activity on that connection from more
then 1 minute.
exec-timeout refers to the telnet connections initiated TO the router.
