Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

If a user has not logged in successfully before the timeout period for SSH connection authentication expires, the current connection is terminated to ensure security. To query the current timeout period, run the display ssh server command.

Precautions

The timeout period setting takes effect upon next login.

If a very short timeout period is configured for SSH connection authentication, user login may fail due to a connection timeout. Using the default timeout period is recommended.

Example

# Set the timeout period for SSH connection authentication to 90 seconds.
