disable cli-config-logging	Disables logging of CLI commands to the Syslog.
disable clipaging	Disables pausing of the screen display when a show command output reaches the end of the page.
disable idletimeout	Disables the timer that disconnects all sessions. After being disabled, console sessions remain open until the switch is rebooted or until you log off. Telnet sessions remain open until you close the Telnet client. SSH2 sessions time out after 61 minutes of inactivity.

enable cli-config-logging	Enables the logging of CLI configuration commands to the Syslog for auditing purposes. The default setting is disabled.
enable clipaging	Enables pausing of the screen display when show command output reaches the end of the page. The default setting is enabled.
enable idletimeout	Enables a timer that disconnects all sessions (Telnet, SSH2, and console) after 20 minutes of inactivity. The default setting is enabled.
