In my /etc/ssh/sshd_config file I have set the below parameters  :

ClientAliveInterval 10
ClientAliveCountMax 3

Now from host machine I did ssh to the my server (where I made changes to /etc/ssh/sshd_config) file. After that I restarted the ssh sevices by running  :

/etc/init.d/sshd reload

I am expecting the ssh connection should be disconnected after 30 seconds but it keeps on than there for almost an hour now.

Can anybody let me know what is going wrong here  ?

I am using OpenSSH version 6.1.
