DISCONNECTING A TELNET SESSION

The administrator-level account can disconnect a management session that has been established by way of a Telnet connection. If this happens, the user logged in by way of the Telnet connection is notified that the session has been terminated.

To terminate a Telnet session, follow these steps:

1Log in to the switch with administrator privileges.

2Determine the session number of the session you want to terminate by typing show session

Sample output from the show session command is as follows:

show session:

0	Wed	Sep	17	20:48:38	1997	admin	console serial
4	Wed	Sep	17	21:52:16	1997	admin	telnet 192.208.37.26

3Terminate the session by using the following command: clear session <session_number>

DISABLING TELNET ACCESS

By default, Telnet services are enabled on the switch. You can choose to disable Telnet by entering

disable telnet

To re-enable Telnet on the switch, at the console port enter

enable telnet

You must be logged in as an administrator to enable or disable Telnet.
