`ip ssh idle-time`

Configures the amount of time an SSH session can be inactive before the device closes it.

Syntax

ip ssh idle-time time

no ip ssh idle-time time

Command Default

By default, SSH sessions time out after five minutes.

Parameters

time: Time in minutes. Valid values are from 0 through 240.

Modes

Global configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

The no form of the command sets the timeout value to the default.

If an established SSH session has no activity for the specified number of minutes, the device closes it. An idle time of 0 minutes means that SSH sessions never time out.

Note: Prior to FastIron release 08.0.90a, the default value was 0 minutes.

Examples

The following example configures the SSH idle time to 50 minutes.

device(config)# ip ssh idle-time 50
