Displaying Terminal Sessions
Use the show line command to display all configured terminal sessions:

Clearing Terminal Sessions
Use the clear line command to clear a specified terminal session:

Setting the Terminal Timeout
Use the terminal session-timeout command in EXEC mode to configure the automatic logout time for
the current terminal session on that switch. When the time limit configured by this command is exceeded,
the switch closes that session and exits.
The syntax for this command is terminal session-timeout minutes.
The default is 30 minutes. You can set the terminal session-timeout value to 0 to disable this feature so
the terminal remains active until you choose to exit the switch. This change is not saved in the
configuration file.
switch# terminal session-timeout 600
Specifies the terminal timeout to be 600 minutes for the current session.
Setting the Terminal Type
Use the terminal terminal-type command in EXEC mode to specify the terminal type for a switch:
The syntax for this command is terminal terminal-type terminal-type.
switch# terminal terminal-type vt100
