I'm hoping that someone may have an idea or will help explain a bit
of an annoyance I'm having.
I have a Cisco 3620 with an NM-32 (32 port async) and I'm using it
to reverse telnet into my lab equipment.
I'm have the connectivity I want but for some reason that stumps me
after 10 minutes the session times out.
I've tried to adjust all the timers having to do with timeouts but
nothing seems to help me from dropping sessions after 10 minutes.
The config on the terminal server is:
line con 0
exec-timeout 0 0
password 7 <removed>
logging synchronous
line 1 32
access-class 99 in
exec-timeout 0 0
logging synchronous
no exec
transport input telnet
transport output telnet
line aux 0
transport input all
line vty 0 4
session-timeout 120
access-class 99 in
exec-timeout 0 0
password 7 <removed>
logging synchronous
login local
transport input ssh
line vty 5 15
session-timeout 120
access-class 99 in
exec-timeout 0 0
password 7 <removed>
logging synchronous
login local
transport input ssh
Here are is a show line of a session that went from active to ready
at the 10 minute mark:

I tested the console ports on the routers and I do not time out on
them when I direct connect so I'm pretty sure it's something to do
with the terminal server.
Any suggestions would great.
