Your login will timeout according to your exec-timeout value. In this case it is 30 minutes, 0 seconds. After the timeout you will be automatically logged out.

Quagga alo requires a hostname to be defined in the configuration file or else it won't start at all.

!
hostname my-server-name
password zebra
!
line vty
 exec-timeout 30 0
