Configuring Inactivity Timeout Period Configuration, and Local and Remote Idle Session Termination

Terminate the session after the security administrator specifies inactive timeout period.

The idle timeout configuration explained below applies to both the remote SSH as well as local console sessions.

For password authentication (both remote and local), login interacts with a user to request a username and password to establish and verify the user’s identity. The username entered by the administrator at the username prompt is reflected to the screen, but no feedback to screen is provided while the entry made by the administrator at the password prompt until the Enter key is pressed, following which either access to the CLI is provided (correct password) or the password prompt is presented again (incorrect password). This is the default behavior and does not require any configuration.
