Managing Idle Session Timers
You can limit the duration of idle login sessions and idle Admin sessions (Admin
Start command). You can specify limits up to 1,440 minutes; specifying 0 means
unlimited. Idle login sessions that exceed the limit are logged off
(InactivityTimeout). An idle Admin session that exceeds the limit is ended, but the
login session may be maintained (AdminTimeout). By default, no limit is enforced
on idle login sessions; idle Admin sessions are ended after 30 minutes.
Enter the Show Setup System Timers command to display the idle login and
Admin session configuration as shown in the following example:
SANbox #> show setup system timers
