The default timer is 10 minutes and I would not recommend changing the
default timer to never (exec-timeout 0 0) unless you have a very good reason
for doing so. I recently came across a situation in our network where
someone had changed the default timeout on the vty lines to never (why, I
have no idea) but it caused all of our vty sessions on this particular
router to become populated and we were unable to telnet to the router. I
had to go to the Console to terminate each of the sessions (and then I
immediately changed the exec-timeout back to the default)

not sure what the default is but to set to 15 minutes.....the command is
applied to the vty lines. my suspicion (guess) is that the default timeout
would be 0 0 which is never!
conf t
line vty 0 4
exec-timeout 15 0

Subject: Telnet question
What is the default timeout time for telnet connection a to a cisco router.
And what is the command to extend this time? I cannot seem to find either. I
can use the absolute-timeout command but that would also kick someone out
who was working on the router. I just want to set the default timeout to 15
mins.
thanks
stuart
