Setting the session timeout parameter in a cisco router or switch is an easy task that will make your day to day work easy.

How to set the session timeout:

log on to the router and type:

router#configure t

router(config)#line vty 0 4

router(config-line)#session-timeout 10       —- 10 is the amount of minutes we want to configure before timeout.

router(config-line)#exec-timeout 0                    — this is when we log in exec mode ( 0 is never)

router(config-line)#end                                      –  exit the config line mode

router#copy run start
