Which command would you use to change the SSH Idle timeout after entering the ‘management ssh’ command?

Within the Arista EOS command-line interface, configuration of the SSH server is performed under the management ssh context. To modify the period an SSH session can remain inactive before being automatically disconnected, the idle-timeout command is used. This command accepts a value in minutes (from 0 to 1440), where a value of 0 disables the timeout. This is a security feature to prevent idle, authenticated sessions from remaining open indefinitely, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

B. timed: This is not a valid command in the management ssh context for configuring session timeouts.

C. timeout: This is too generic and is not the correct command. The specific command required in this context is idle-timeout.

D. ssh-idle: This is a syntactically incorrect and non-existent command in Arista EOS for this purpose.

1. Arista Networks EOS Configuration Guide: In the section describing the configuration of the SSH server, the idle-timeout command is explicitly listed as the method for setting the idle session timeout.
