60 minutes.
If you enable the idle timer using the enable idletimeout command, the SSH2 connection times out after 20 minutes of inactivity by default. If you disable the idle timer using the disable idletimeout command, the SSH2 connection times out after 60 minutes of inactivity by default. This timeout value can be modified using the command “configure ssh2 idletimeout <minutes> wherein <minutes> can be from 1 to 240 ”. This ssh idle timer is applicable for SFTP connections as well.
