I think you’re right and this is sold as one of the possibilities for the open ended questions in the CCIE exam…

ip ssh timeout = “The time interval that the router waits for the SSH client to respond. This setting applies to the SSH negotiation phase. Once the EXEC session starts, the standard timeouts configured for the vty apply.”

So, in your case this will be 5 minutes.

Useful links:

I hope this reply to your question.

Preferred input connection is ssh. How much time can I be idle?   I have configured ip ssh timeout 60 and exec-timeout 5 on VTY lines. Preferred input connection is ssh.

If you already use community to mark prefixes for different purpose, then you can use extcommunity together with SOO (Site-Of-Origin). Under route-map you can do "set extcommunity soo ASN:nn". This is just a simple example. Of course your BGP environment has to "send community extended" to be able to use this. I will do a tutorial about this sometime in close future. Hi Tido!

I hope you understand what I want to say with X and X-2. Keep on the good work!
