Description
Requirement: The IAO will ensure that network connected management ports drop a connection that is interrupted for any reason within 15 seconds. Network ports that are interrupted due to link disconnection, power failure or other reasons must end any session using that connection. This will prevent a user from ending a session without logging off and leaving the maintenance port available with an active session that might allow unauthorized use by someone other than the authenticated user.
