Common Commands

This chapter introduces some of the more commonly-used commands in the ZyWALL. For more detailed usage, see the corresponding feature chapter in this guide.

In the following examples, ras is the prompt as that is the default. If you configure a system name, then that prompt will display as the system name you configured. For example, change the system name to zyxel using the sys hostname zyxel command; the command prompt will then display as zyxel>.

2.1 Change the Idle Timeout

By default, the ZyWALL automatically logs you out of the management interface after five minutes of inactivity. Use the sys stdio command to extend the idle timeout. The following example extends the idle timeout to 120 minutes.

ras> sys stdio 120

Stdio Timeout = 120 minutes ras>
