Configuring the Auto Logout Time

When the switch detects no user activity on the UI for a certain period of time, it automati-
cally logs the user out of the system. By default, this automatic logout occurs after 4 minutes
of console inactivity. You can configure the automatic logout to range from 1 minute to
35,791,394 minutes.
To set a new automatic logout time, type uic at the user prompt and press <Enter>.
A screen similar to the following will be displayed.
UI Configuration
1) Prompt : ‘$Menu-Path% ’
2) More : off
21) Lines : 22 lines
3) Verbose : off
4) Timeout : 5 minutes
Command {Item=Value/?/Help?Quit?Redraw?Save} (Redraw) :
Next, type 4=on, followed by the desired automatic logout time, and press <Enter>. For exam-
ple:

line 4 of the uic submenu has been changed.

automatic logout parameter until you change it.
