stopping remote telnet, and add timeout

[mrmoneymatters]

I am really new to the router thing so these questions aren't two in depth.

I need to stop all telnetting to my perimiter router, I only want to allow my local subnet or maybe one computer to be able to access the router through telnet. How do I do that?

I need some clarification on exec timeout. I want to add timeouts to my connnections. I looked up some info and it shows two numbers such as:exec timeout 0 10, what does the first number and the second number mean?

TIA

!
conf t
ip access-list standard 10
permit host a.b.c.d
permit host e.f.g.0 0.0.0.255
!
line vty 0 15
access-class 10 in
!
end
!

This allows inbound telnet sessions from the host a.b.c.d and hosts in the subnet e.f.g.0/24.

router(config-line)#exec-timeout ?
<0-35791> Timeout in minutes

router(config-line)#exec-timeout 10 ?
<0-2147483> Timeout in seconds
<cr>

router(config-line)#exec-timeout 10 10 ?
<cr>

So as you can see "exec-timeout 10 10" means a timeout value set to 10 mins and 10 secs.
