Setting Time Limits for User Login

You can specify a time interval that the CLI waits for a user to provide a password when logging in to the console or a vty line. 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 the password. For example:

   host1(config)#line console 0

   host1(config-line)#login

   host1(config-line)#timeout login response 15

timeout login response

• Use to set the time interval that the console or vty lines wait for the user to log in.
• If the interval passes and the user has not responded, the system closes the session or lines.
• Specify an interval in the range 0–300 seconds. A value of 0 means that there is no time limit during which the user must respond.
• The default value is 30 seconds.
• Example

  host1(config-line)#timeout login response 15

• Use the no version to restore the default interval, 30 seconds.
• See timeout login response.
