Defining the console idle time

By default, a Ruckus device does not time out serial console sessions. A serial session remains open indefinitely until you close it. You can however define how many minutes a serial management session can remain idle before it is timed out.

NOTE
You must enable AAA support for console commands, AAA authentication, and Exec authorization in order to set the console idle time.

To configure the idle time for a serial console session, use the following command.

device(config)#console timeout 120

Syntax: [no] console timeout [ 0-240 ]

Possible values: 0 - 240 minutes

Default value: 0 minutes (no timeout)

NOTE
In RADIUS, the standard attribute Idle-Timeout is used to define the console session timeout value. The attribute Idle-Timeout value is specified in seconds. Within the switch, it is truncated to the nearest minute, because the switch configuration is defined in minutes.
