Multiple User Sessions	Using the CLI

Multiple User Sessions

Several CLI commands give you information about user sessions that are currently operating on the OmniSwitch, including your own session. These commands allow you to list the number and types of sessions that are currently running on the switch. You can also terminate another session, provided you have administrative privileges.

Listing Other User Sessions

The who command displays all users currently logged into the OmniSwitch. The following example shows use of the who command and a resulting display:

-> who
Session number = 0
User name	= (at login),
Access type	= console,
Access port	= Local,
IP address	= 0.0.0.0,

Read-only rights		=	0x00000000 0x00000000,
Read-Write rights		=	0x00000000 0x00000000,
Read-only domains		=	None,
Read-only families		=	,
Read-Write domains		=	None,
Read-Write families =			,
Session number = 1
User name	= admin,
Access type = http,
Access port	= NS,
IP address	= 123.251.12.51,
Read-only rights		=	0x00000000 0x00000000,
Read-Write rights		=	0xffffffff 0xffffffff,
Read-only domains		=	None,
Read-only families		=	,
Read-Write domains		=	All ,
Read-Write families =			,
Session number = 3
User name	= admin,
Access type = telnet,
Access port	= NI,
IP address	= 123.251.12.61,
Read-only rights		=	0x00000000 0x00000000,
Read-Write rights		=	0xffffffff 0xffffffff,
Read-only domains		=	None,
Read-only families		=	,
Read-Write domains		=	All ,
Read-Write families =			,

The above display indicates three sessions are currently active on the OmniSwitch. Session number 0 always shows the console port whenever that port is active and logged in. The other sessions are identified by session number, user name, the type of access, port type, IP address, and user privileges. The output definitions are defined in the table on page 5-21.

Alcatel Carrier Internetworking Solutions offers the OmniSwitch series, renowned for its robust capabilities in delivering high-performance networking solutions tailored for a variety of enterprise and service provider environments. The OmniSwitch series is particularly recognized for its scalability, flexibility, and the depth of its feature set, making it a popular choice for organizations that demand reliable and efficient networking solutions.

One of the standout features of the OmniSwitch series is its advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities, providing organizations with essential support for IP routing and robust Ethernet networking. This versatility ensures that the switch can seamlessly integrate into existing network architectures, facilitating smooth upgrade paths in response to evolving business needs. The OmniSwitch includes support for multiple protocols like RIP, OSPF, and BGP, making it suitable for complex networking topologies.

In terms of performance, OmniSwitch devices are engineered to handle high bandwidth demands. With features such as hardware-based forwarding, they ensure low latency and minimal packet loss, which are critical for applications sensitive to delays such as VoIP and video conferencing. Furthermore, they support Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing users to power devices like IP phones and security cameras directly through the network.

Security is another key characteristic of the OmniSwitch series. It includes advanced security features such as robust access control lists (ACLs), port security, and built-in support for IEEE 802.1X authentication. These features collectively enhance the security posture of the network, protecting sensitive data and ensuring that only authorized devices can access the network resources.

The OmniSwitch is also designed with redundancy and reliability in mind. Features like Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) ensure that network uptime is maximized and that failover is swift in the event of a hardware failure. This makes it a viable option for organizations that cannot afford downtime.

In addition to these features, Alcatel's OmniSwitch series comes equipped with a user-friendly management interface. This interface simplifies the setup, configuration, and monitoring of the network, making it accessible even to those with limited networking expertise. Through intuitive dashboards and support for SNMP, administrators can manage their networks effectively.

In conclusion, Alcatel Carrier Internetworking Solutions' OmniSwitch series offers a comprehensive suite of features tailored to meet the needs of modern networks. With its blend of performance, scalability, security, and ease of management, the OmniSwitch stands out as a preferred choice for businesses seeking to enhance their networking infrastructure.
