Discussion

Terminating an idle session within a short time period reduces the window of opportunity for unauthorized personnel to take control of a management session enabled on the console or console port that has been left unattended.

Check

From the CLI EXEC mode, type show terminal.

From the GUI, navigate to Administration >> System >> Admin Access >> Settings >> Session.

View the session timeout setting.

If the terminal and administration setting is not set to six minutes or less, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure Session Timeout for Administrators.

1. Choose Administration >> System >> Admin Access >> Settings >> Session >> Session Timeout. 2. Enter "6". 3. Click "Save".
