ip http timeout-policy idle seconds life seconds
no ip http timeout-policy
• seconds—For the idle parameter, the approximate number of seconds
after which an idle connection is closed. For the
life parameter, the
approximate number of seconds since login after which a session is closed.
Default Configuration
The default values are as follows:
• idle —180 seconds. Range: 1-3600
•
life —1800 seconds. Range: 1-86400
Command Mode
Global Configuration
User Guidelines
This command configures the timeout for both HTTP and HTTPS sessions.
Changes to the parameters affect existing sessions. Reducing the time
parameters may close existing sessions.
The idle timeout closes sessions in which no activity is detected (e.g., no
commands are entered). The life timeout specifies the maximum number of
seconds a session will be kept open from the time the session was established.
Times are approximate.
Use this command to establish an access policy which maximizes throughput
or minimizes response time for new connections. For minimal response time
for new connections, use smaller values. For maximizing throughput (e.g.,
with dedicated management connections), use larger values.
Command History
Introduced in version 6.3.0.1 firmware.
