I labbed it up as follows:
R1--------------------------R2
155.6.0.1 155.6.0.2
R1
lin con 0
session-timeout 1
telnet 155.6.0.2
>R2
With this configuration, the session disconnects after 1 minute and I'm
returned to idle state on R1.
Next I moved the command to vty lines as follows:
lin con 0
no session-timeout 1
lin vty 0 4
session-timeout 1
telnet 155.6.0.2
>R2
This time it did not time out, unless I used exec-timeout 1 on vty lines at
R2.
Perhaps other scenarios produce other results, but this led me to the
conclusion that the command affects outgoing sessions only when set on the
local console line. I could not make sense of part of the explanation on
doccd for this command.
Sincerely
Benedict Munyao
