HP timeout

Hey Reddit!

After a bit of advice on an issue I have with HP Procurve switches. I have run the commands below,

  • Console idle-timeout 600
  • Console idle-timeout serial-usb 600

In theory these commands should force any connected sessions to timeout after 10 minutes of inactivity, which in part it does however, I have noticed if you leave a switch without finishing the command for example run a ‘show running-config’ with more lines to tab through, it doesn’t timeout.

Has anyone come across this before? I did contact HPe support but got nowhere. Appreciate it’s a bit random but just something I wanted to patch up.

Thanks for any advice guys :)
