line vty

The line vty command, in Global Configuration mode, accesses VTY (Virtual Telnet Type)
configuration mode.
The VTY mode enables you to control the VTY connection to the switch.
The prompt-line
device-name(config-vty
configuration mode has been entered.
Command Syntax
device-name(config)#line vty
device-name(config-vty)#
exec-timeout
The exec-timeout command, in VTY Configuration mode, sets the VTY connection-timeout
value. The switch logs out when the connection-timeout time expires.
The default timeout value is 10 minutes. A timeout value of zero disables timeout-
disconnection (equivalent to unlimited).
The no form of this command restores the default 10 minutes timeout value.
If the command is configured without parameters it will display the current timeout value.
Command Syntax
device-name(config-vty)#exec-timeout [<minutes> [<seconds>]| unlimited]
device-name(config-vty)#no exec-timeout
Argument Description
minutes The timeout value in the range of <0-35791> minutes.
seconds Addition of seconds to the timeout value that was defined in minutes in range of <0-
2147483> seconds.
unlimited Sets timeout value to be unlimited.
