Commands to Configure Cisco Console Line Access Securely

Access console line using 'line console 0'. This command is used to access the console line where configurations can be made.

Synchronize unsolicited messages using 'logging synchronous'. This command ensures that console messages do not interrupt the command input process.

Prevent console session from timing out using 'exec-timeout 0'. Setting the exec-timeout to 0 means the console session will never time out.
