What is the effect of setting the default session timeout to 1800 seconds in the system configuration?

Setting the default session timeout to 1800 seconds means that if a session remains idle for 1800 seconds, it will be closed automatically. This idle timeout helps manage resources effectively by ensuring that inactive sessions do not persist indefinitely, which can be a security risk and can lead to unnecessary resource consumption on the device.

When the timeout is reached after 1800 seconds, the system will terminate the session, meaning that any activity the user had pending or any data being transmitted will be interrupted. As a result, users will need to start a new session if they wish to re-establish their connection after the timeout. This mechanism is particularly important in environments where security and resource management are critical, as it helps ensure that only active sessions are maintained.

Other options may hint at session management, but they either misinterpret the implications of session timeout effectiveness or discuss functionalities that are not directly associated with the idle timeout setting. For instance, the idea of maximum session length or keepalive packets would not accurately reflect the specific nature and purpose of session timeouts in this context.
