no ip ssh {[timeout seconds]} | [authentication-retries integer]} Syntax Description

timeout

(Optional) The time interval that the router waits for the SSH client to respond.

This setting applies to the SSH negotiation phase. Once the EXEC session starts, the standard timeouts configured for the vty apply. By default, there are 5 vtys defined (0-4), therefore 5 terminal sessions are possible. After the SSH executes a shell, the vty timeout starts. The vty timeout defaults to 10 minutes"

Where MM is timeout in minutes and SS is seconds (or 0 if blank).
