Caution! If you change the Telnet port number from a Telnet session, WSS Software
immediately ends the session. To open a new management session, you must Telnet to
the switch with the new Telnet port number.
Note. If you type the clear sessions admin telnet command from within a Telnet
session, the session ends as soon as you press Enter.
