Terminating Sessions

There are two commands you can use to terminate a session on another port:

∙The privileged LOGOUT PORT command allows you to manually log out any port, and all sessions terminate at the specified port. If the port device supports session management, the LOGOUT PORT command disconnects all the terminal sessions (and the associated sessions) then logs out the port.

For example, to disconnect port 4 from all its sessions, enter the following command:

Local> LOGOUT PORT 4

The port that you specify can have local, remote, or dynamic access. Use caution when you log out a user’s port. When you log out a port, you abruptly stop all sessions, and data may be lost. The port characteristics are also reset to the permanent values.

∙The privileged DISCONNECT PORT command allows you to stop another port’s session with a dedicated service. (You cannot use this command for ports with session management terminals, because these ports cannot have a dedicated service.)

You can use the DISCONNECT PORT command to disconnect a nonkeyboard printer being used by a dedicated service that offers printers to the network. For example, to stop the session with a dedicated service at port 4, enter the following command:

Local> DISCONNECT PORT 4
