The correct answer to the question is C. The Session Border Controller supports only one simultaneous configuration session, and the Telnet/SSH timeouts are set to 0.

Explanation:

A Session Border Controller (SBC) is a network device used in Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) networks. It provides security, interoperability, and transcoding functions between different VoIP networks.

When you are working with the SBC in configuration mode, you are essentially logging into the device to modify its configuration settings. Each time you do this, you create a configuration session.

According to the question, you forgot to close your configuration session when you finished working with the SBC. This means that your colleague, who is trying to log into the SBC to configure it, cannot do so because there is already an active configuration session.

The correct answer is C, which states that the SBC supports only one simultaneous configuration session. This means that only one person can log into the SBC in configuration mode at a time. If there is an active configuration session, no one else can log in until the session is closed.

Additionally, the Telnet/SSH timeouts are set to 0, which means that the session will not automatically terminate after a certain period of inactivity. This can lead to situations where an active configuration session is left open, preventing others from logging in.

Answers A, B, D, and E are incorrect because they do not address the specific issue of an active configuration session preventing others from logging in.
