Definately!
Do a quick man of sshd_config

ClientAliveInterval
Sets a timeout interval in seconds after which if no data has
been received from the client, sshd will send 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 to protocol version 2 only.
ClientAliveCountMax
Sets the number of client alive messages (see above) which may 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 (below). The client alive messages
are sent through the encrypted channel and therefore will not be
spoofable. The TCP keepalive option enabled by KeepAlive is
spoofable. The client alive mechanism is valuable when the client
or server depend on knowing when a connection has become inac-
tive.
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.
