Difference between Idle and Session timeout

[squawk]

I'm not clear on the difference between the Idle and Session timeout. Could anybody explain?

Currently I have the Idle timeout set to 60 seconds, so I assume any user that is logged in, but does nothing, is logged out after 60 seconds.

Session timeout is 0 minutes by default, but I don't understand how this value differs from, or works with, the Idle timeout.

Really appreciate an explanation.

Did you ever get an answer to this question? What is the difference between idle and session timeout?

May I know what's the difference between Idle and Session timeout too?

idle - total time allowed without a command being issued, before being logged off.

session - total time allowed logged in before being logged off.

transfer - total time allowed without a transfer, before being logged off.
