MANAGING SESSIONS

 

About the Session A session is a related set of communication transactions between an

Managerauthenticated user (client) and the specific station to which the client is bound. Packets are exchanged during a session. A WX switch supports the following kinds of sessions:

„Administrative sessions — A network administrator managing the

WX

„Network sessions — A network user exchanging traffic with a network through the WX

The WX session manager manages the sessions for each client, but does not examine the substance of the traffic.

Clearing (ending) a session deauthenticates the administrator or user from the session and disassociates wireless clients.

Displaying and

Clearing

Administrative

Sessions

To display session information and statistics for a user with administrative access to the WX switch, use the following command:

display sessions {admin console telnet [client]}

You can view all administrative sessions, or only the sessions of administrators with access to the WX through a Telnet or SSH connection or the console port. You can also display information about administrative Telnet sessions from remote clients.

To clear administrative sessions, use the following command:

clear sessions {admin console telnet [client [session-id]]}

CAUTION: Clearing administrative sessions might cause your session to be cleared.
