if you connected to a router via the console and were logged in you would
have an exec...so by default the exec-timeout is ten minutes, so if you sit
idle at a router prompt for ten minutes the console will dump you.
if you make a reverse connection, say from the aux port to an attached modem
and sat idle the session-timeout would apply. there is no default session
timeout, well it is zero which means it will never timeout.
i dont think there is a timeout command by itself, maybe you mean "timeout
absolute x", if you configure this after x minutes you will get dropped no
matter if you were idle or not.
