Session Timeout Period

In addition to passwords, another security feature you can apply
is a timeout period for the web interface session. The timeout
period specifies when the session will automatically close,
protecting you from others altering your vNet Device
configuration settings if you accidentally leave the Web session
open.
You can also specify the HTTP TCP port number used by Web
browsers to display the vNet Device’s Web interface. In most
circumstances you will not need to change the default HTTP TCP
port number (80), unless port 80 is blocked.

To set the timeout period and HTTP port:

1

From the vNet Configuration and Management interface,
choose

Configuration | Web Interface

.

2

In the Web Interface screen, choose to either select
(recommended) or deselect the option

End session after

timeout

.

3

Enter the session timeout period in minutes.

4

Enter the HTTP port you want to use (change the default, 80,
only if it is blocked).
