I have to confess that I haven't tried it but this is what I was looking at.
Does it not do what you want?

ClientAliveInterval
Sets a timeout interval in seconds after which, if no
data has been received from the client, sshd sends a
message through the encrypted channel to request a
response from the client. The default is 0, indicating
that these messages will not be sent to the client. This
option applies only to protocol version 2.
ClientAliveCountMax
Sets the number of client alive messages (see Clien-
tAliveInterval, above) that can be sent without sshd
receiving any messages back from the client. If this
threshold is reached while client alive messages are
being sent, sshd will disconnect the client, terminating
the session. It is important to note that the use of
client alive messages is very different from KeepAlive
(see below). The client alive messages are sent through
the encrypted channel and therefore will not be spoofa-
ble. The TCP keepalive option enabled by KeepAlive is
spoofable. The client alive mechanism is valuable when a
client or server depend on knowing when a connection has
become inactive.
The default value is 3. If ClientAliveInterval (above)
is set to 15, and ClientAliveCountMax is left at the
default, unresponsive ssh clients will be disconnected
after approximately 45 seconds.

Done it. No help. That is why I have posted the question.
A search in www.openssh.org has revealed that openssh does not provide the
capability.
It has to be done at shell or router level. Since our default shell is
Korn shell, I am going to use TMOUT to implement what I want.

Is there a way to time out ssh session?
Force a ssh session to terminate after 15 minutes of idleness.
