DETAILED STEPS
Examples
The following example shows how to set the console idle privileged EXEC timeout to 2 minutes 30
seconds:
Command or Action Purpose
Step 1
enable
Example:
Router> enable
Enables privileged EXEC mode.
• Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2
configure terminal
Example:
Router# configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 3
line console 0
Example:
Router(config)# line console 0
Configures the console line and starts the line configuration
command collection mode.
Step 4
exec-timeout minutes [seconds]
Example:
Router(config-line)# exec-timeout 0 0
Sets the idle privileged EXEC timeout, which is the interval
that the privileged EXEC command interpreter waits until
user input is detected.
• The example shows how to specify no timeout. Setting
the exec-timeout value to 0 will cause the router to
never log out after it is logged in. This could have
security implications if you leave the console without
manually logging out using the disable command.
Step 5
end
Example:
Router(config)# end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
show running-config
Example:
Router(config)# show running-config
Displays the running configuration file.
• Verify that you properly configured the idle privileged
EXEC timeout.
