The default is 5 minutes. After it times out you have to log in with

 

 

your password again. Very long idle timeouts may have security

 

 

risks.

 

 

A value of "0" means a management session never times out, no

 

 

matter how long it has been left idle (not recommended).

choice to User-Defined, and enter the same IP address, the second

 

 

User-Definedchanges to None after you click Apply.
