The idle-timeout command sets a timeout period to disconnect from a NETCONF user interface. If a user does not invoke a command for a specific period of time, the connection gets disconnected.
The undo idle-timeout command restores the default timeout period.
The default timeout period is 10 minutes.
By default, the timeout period is 10 minutes.
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| minutes |
Sets the time period to disconnect a user from the user interface view. |
The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 35791, in minutes. |
| seconds |
Sets the time period to disconnect a user from the user interface view. |
The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 59, in seconds. |
If no timeout period is set for a login user and the user is in idle state for a long time, other users may fail to establish connections with the NETCONF user interface. To prevent this issue, run the idle-timeout command to set a timeout period. If the login user remains idle until the timeout period elapses, the user is disconnected from the NETCONF user interface.
To disable the idle timeout function, specify 0 minutes and 0 seconds in the idle-timeout command. If an administrator does not close an operation interface due to neglect, non-administrator users may perform unauthorized operations.
