Setting the Switch's Shell Timeout

Use the exec-timeout command in configuration mode to configure the lifetime of all terminal sessions
on that switch. When the time limit configured by this command is exceeded, the shell exits and closes
that session. The syntax for this command from is exec-timeout minutes
The default is 30 minutes. You can configure different timeout values for a console or a virtual terminal
line (VTY) session. You can set the exec-timeout value to 0 to disable this feature so the session remains
active until you exit the switch. This change is saved in the configuration file.
