Nortel Networks 425 series Switch User Manual


 
Idle timeout 383
CLI Main Menu or Setup
Once the Administrator user password is verified, you are given complete
access to the Nortel SNAS. If the Nortel SNAS is still set to its factory
default configuration, the system will run Setup (see “Initial setup” (page
41)), a utility designed to help you through the first-time configuration
process. If the Nortel SNAS has already been configured, the Main menu
of the CLI is displayed instead.
Figure 22 "Administrator Main Menu" (page 383) shows the Main menu
with administrator privileges.

Command line history and editing
For a description of global commands, shortcuts, and command line
editing functions, see “CLI reference” (page 413).
Idle timeout
The Nortel SNAS will disconnect your local console connection or
remote connection (Telnet or SSH) after 10 minutes of inactivity.
This value can be changed to a maximum value of 1 hour using the
/cfg/sys/adm/clitimeout command.
If you are automatically disconnected after the specified idle timeout
interval, any unapplied configuration changes are lost. Therefore, make
sure to save your configuration changes regularly by using the global
apply command.
If you have unapplied configuration changes when you use the global
exit command to log out from the CLI, you will be prompted to use the
global diff command to view the pending configuration changes. After
verifying the pending configuration changes, you can either apply the
changes or use the revert command to remove them.
