Network Management Card 2 timeout

SubnetMask · ‎2023-05-10

Is there a way that I haven't found to adjust the timeout period on the Network Management Card 2 cards? The built in default setting is absurdly short - I swear it's like 90 seconds. I get my attention diverted for what seems like no time at all and I'm having to log in again.

I found that it is default to 3 minutes and needed to change that as well. Login to the management interface, select Configuration > Security > Local Users > Management, click on a user name and change the "Session Timeout" to a more reasonable value. You also need to put your current password in the "Current Password" field, click Next. On the next page, click "Apply".

You can also set the default timeout for newly created users at Configuration > Security > Local Users > Default Settings.

Valid for AOS 7.1.2

Cheers

Thank you for that info! That's a rather absurd place for it to be buried. You'd thing it would be a global setting that's more visible.

True that. Glad it helped.

You should see where the put the option to choose what the home page is for the latest version of the AOS on an AP9630 NMC. I spent at least 20 minutes looking for it.
