Setting Time Out of EXEC Privilege Mode
EXEC time-out is a basic security feature that returns the system to EXEC mode after a period of inactivity on the terminal
lines.
To set time out, use the following commands.
● Set the number of minutes and seconds. The default is 10 minutes on the console and 30 minutes on VTY. Disable EXEC
time out by setting the time-out period to 0.
LINE mode
exec-timeout minutes [seconds]
● Return to the default time-out values.
LINE mode
no exec-timeout
The following example shows how to set the time-out period and how to view the configuration using the show config
command from LINE mode.
Dell(conf)#line con 0
Dell(config-line-console)#exec-timeout 0
Dell(config-line-console)#show config
line console 0
exec-timeout 0 0
Dell(config-line-console)#
Using Telnet to Access Another Network Device
To telnet to another device, use the following commands.
NOTE:
On the Z9500, the system allows 120 Telnet sessions per minute, allowing the login and logout of 10 Telnet sessions,
12 times in a minute. If the system reaches this non-practical limit, the Telnet service is stopped for 10 minutes. You can use
console and SSH service to access the system during downtime.
● Telnet to a device with an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
EXEC Privilege
telnet [ip-address]
If you do not enter an IP address, the system enters a Telnet dialog that prompts you for one.
Enter an IPv4 address in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D).
Enter an IPv6 address in the format 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000. Elision of zeros is supported.
