How do you reset the user inactivity timeout for the GUI login on a 3524P?
Default, apparently 5 min, is too short for me. I have tried several CLI commands I found online but apparently not the right one. This in particular seems like it should work but I get an unrecognized command response.
console(config)# ip http timeout-policy 1200

Ok I think I go itt. My mistake was misinterpreting your instructions. I thought "line console" took care of telnet also. I see now that I need to use "line telnet" separately. Knowing about "show line" helped me understand.
Thanks again. If the timeout behavior changes today I will mark the problem as solved.

Here is the command for HTTP.
Console (config)# ip http exec-timeout 3 30
You can use the following for console, telnet, and SSH.
Console(config)# line console
Console(config-line)# exec-timeout 20
The CLI guide has further info on these commands and the different values that can be assigned. Page 255 and 516

Thanks for the help. The http command worked for me, which is a big help.
The Telnet part did not work, either with a time or with 0. The command is accepted OK but the timeout still happens. I can live without thist but if you have a suggestion, thanks in advance.

I looked at that screen before. I see password aging but not session timeout. Am I missing something?

Glad to hear the http command worked. Have you tried making the Telnet change in the GUI? Perhaps it will accept the change using that method. System > Management Security > Line Passwords. There is a screen shot on page 192 : http://dell.to/1WDIGjA

Oh, you are correct, I looked at that wrong."Indicates the amount of time in days that elapses before a line password is aged out."
However that Exec-timeout command should satisfy the requirements you are looking for. "The exec-timeout Line Configuration mode command sets the interval that the system waits until user input is detected."
After you set the exec-time, does it reflect accordingly in the output from the command:
Console>show line
