Setting Timeout for EXEC Privilege Mode
EXEC timeout is a basic security feature that returns Dell EMC Networking OS to EXEC mode after a period of inactivity on the
terminal lines.
To set timeout, 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 timeout period to 0.
LINE mode
exec-timeout minutes [seconds]
Return to the default timeout values.
LINE mode
no exec-timeout
The following example shows how to set the timeout period and how to view the configuration using the show config
command from LINE mode.
DellEMC(conf)#line con 0
DellEMC(config-line-console)#exec-timeout 0
DellEMC(config-line-console)#show config
line console 0
exec-timeout 0 0
DellEMC(config-line-console)#
Using Telnet to get to Another Network Device
To telnet to another device, use the following commands.
NOTE:
The device 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, Dell EMC Networking OS 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.
