Here’s a nice tip for those using SecureCRT. In doing my CCIE studies, I have 10 different sessions open, and after some time, I’ll find that my sessions are timed-out. I end up having to clear the lines of the Term server to get them back. I’m not sure if this will apply to all versions, but I’m using version 3.3…

Start by going to Options >> Session options

Next, edit session options. Basically you specify a time interval and what you want to send to session every 120 seconds in this example. I just hit the space bar to put a space in.

This will keep your sessions active by adding a space every so often so they don’t time-out. I used this tonight and it saved me some time. I hate having to clear lines, it really ruins my day…

Anyways, probably not new information, but hopefully some find it useful.
