| With a router or firewall—at least Cisco, as any configuration changes are made, they are applied to the running configuration. There is nothing lost. If the user has not saved the running configuration to non-volatile random-access memory (NVRAM), it can be done by logging back in. Furthermore, a desktop or laptop is used to connect to the router, switch, or firewall. The routers, switches, and firewalls have the idle timeout capability where the session is taken down after a period of inactivity. This is a simple and straightforward solution. |
