Cisco ASR 1001-HX User Manual

Configuring the Console Idle Privileged EXEC Timeout
By default, the privileged EXEC command interpreter waits 10 minutes to detect user input before timing
out.
When you configure the console line, you can also set communication parameters, specify autobaud connections,
and configure terminal operating parameters for the terminal that you are using. For more information on
configuring the console line, see the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals and Network Management
Configuration Guide. In particular, see the “Configuring Operating Characteristics for Terminals” and
“Troubleshooting and Fault Management” chapters.

exec-timeout minutes [seconds]
Example:
Router(config-line)#
exec-timeout 0 0
Step 4
The example shows how to specify no timeout. Setting
the exec-timeout value to 0 will cause the router to never
log out once logged in. This could have security
implications if you leave the console without manually
logging out using the disable command.

Example:
Router(config)# end
Step 5
