Setting Timeout for EXEC Privilege Mode

EXEC timeout is a basic security feature that returns Dell EMC Networking OS to EXEC mode after a period of inactivity on the terminal lines.

To set timeout, use the following commands.
  • Set the number of minutes and seconds. The default is 10 minutes on the console and 30 minutes on VTY. Disable EXEC time out by setting the timeout period to 0.
    LINE mode
    exec-timeout minutes [seconds]
  • Return to the default timeout values.
    LINE mode
    no exec-timeout

Example of Setting the Timeout Period for EXEC Privilege Mode

The following example shows how to set the timeout period and how to view the configuration using the show config command from LINE mode.
