Setting Time Limits for User Input

You can specify a time interval that the CLI waits for user input on the console or vty lines. To do so:

1. Access the line configuration mode using either the console or vty keyword.
2. Specify the time during which the user must enter information. For example:

   host1(config)#line vty 0

   host1(config-line)#exec-timeout 4192 13

exec-timeout

• Use to set the time interval that the console or vty lines wait for expected user input.
• If the interval passes and the user has not responded, the system closes the session or lines.
• Specify a time limit in the range 0–35791 minutes, and optionally specify the number of seconds.
• By default, there is no time limit.
• Example

  host1(config-line)#exec-timeout 4192 13

• Use the no version to remove the time limit.
• See exec-timeout.
