HP Procurve Console Inactivity Timer

[vishal_123]

Hi

I am new to HP procurve CLI and have only used Cisco IOS and Junos in the past. I was testing the console inactivity timer across the serial port and across the network on a spare switch which worked fine, however I had to save the config and reboot the switch for the changes to take effect.

The switch in question was a Procurve 2626, I have additonal procurve model switches, how can I find out for certain if the command requires a reboot on that specific model?

Thank you for any help.

Hi, this can be confirmed by entering console inactivity timer XX.

If it requires save and reboot, the system would automatic show notice message.

Thanks. I noticed once the command is entered you cant really delete it from the running config.

I guess it doesnt really matter as the config is not saved to the startup config.

You can remove the line in the config if you set it to zero
