absolute-timeout
Changes the number of minutes an SSH session can remain open. The
absolute-timeout value applies regardless of whether the session is active
or idle.
Syntax —
set ip ssh absolute-timeout minutes
minutes — Number of minutes an SSH session can remain open. You
can set the absolute timeout to a value from 0 (disabled) to
2,147,483,647 minutes
Defaults — The absolute timeout is disabled by default. 3Com
recommends using the idle timeout instead to close unused sessions.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — If the idle timeout is disabled, MSS changes the default
absolute timeout from 0 (disabled) to 60 minutes to prevent an
abandoned session from remaining open indefinitely.
Examples — The following command changes the absolute timeout
value to 30 minutes:
WX4400# set ip ssh absolute-timeout 30
success: absolute timeout set to 30 minutes
