To configure SSH timeout settings, you need to be familiar with the following key parameters in the SSH configuration file (sshd_config):
- Definition: This parameter specifies the time interval (in seconds) between sending keepalive messages to the client. If the server doesn't receive a response, it will eventually close the connection.
- Example:
ClientAliveInterval 300 (Sends a keepalive message every 300 seconds, or 5 minutes).
