3640 dialup router. Timeout command.

[gmaas]

I have a 3640 dialup router that our sales force dials into. I already have the idle timeout command implemented. Is there anyway I can have a user timeout after a certain time even if they aren't idle? Right now I have some salesman that aren't disconecting and they have something on their laptops keeping the session open.

Garrett,

You need to use absolute-timeout command. This timeout setting will disconnect the connection regardless of whether the user is using it or not. Check this link for the command syntax.

Remember this will be a common setting to all users. But if you want a per user absolute timeout you will have to use some IOS configurations as well as use an AAA server to accomplish this. More details about per user Absolute timeout can be found here.

Hope that helps!
