VTY Session Timeout

[avilt]

I have defined VTY 0 15 timeout, my SSH session is on MGMT (out of band) interface and vty timeout is not working. How do I enable it for MGMT as well?

Hey,

In general configuration use:

ip ssh time-out XXX

instead of XXX put time in seconds, you can additionally use:

ip ssh authentication-retries 5

to limit tries to 5 or any other number that you like.

I have the following commands but no ssh session never gets disconnected.

SW01#show running-config | include ssh
ip ssh maxstartups 10
ip ssh time-out 30
ip ssh authentication-retries 5
ip ssh logging events
ip ssh version 2

Also defined following command on MGMT but no effect.

SW01(config-if)#timeout absolute 60

transport input ssh

Hello,

not sure if I missed something, but how did you configure the VTY timeout ?

line vty 0 4

exec-timeout 1

will disconnect your VTY session after 1 minute of inactivity (regardless of whether you are connected through SSH or Telnet)...
