Any way to prevent ssh timeout?

I'm trying to keep certain terminals logged in on some Cisco network devices. They have a set exec timeout setting to kick me out if no inputs are detected. I tried getting keepalives to work but they appear not to be doing what I want. I've seen some terminals that will send a specified character to all open sessions in set intervals. 


Is there anything that is built into royalts that might be able to do this for me?


Hi Kyle,

may I ask what keep-alive intervals you tried? Is the interval perhaps too long?

The last one I tried was a keep-alive every 1 second which does not work. My timeout is 15 minutes.

where is the keepalive option?

Hi Jeff,


for rebex based SSH terminal connections, the keep alive setting is a plugin setting. See: https://content.royalapplications.com/Help/RoyalTS/V5/index.html?reference_terminalrebex.htm

PuTTY based SSH terminal connections have a setting in the Advanced settings page: https://content.royalapplications.com/Help/RoyalTS/V5/index.html?reference_terminalputty_advanced.htm


Let me know if this helps.


Regards,
Stefan
