An administrator-level account can disconnect a management session that has been established by way of a Telnet connection.
You can determine the session number of the session you want to terminate by using the show session command. The output of this command displays information about current Telnet and/or SSH2 sessions including:
- The session number.
- The login date and time.
- The user name.
- The type of Telnet session.
- Authentication information.
Depending on the software version running on your switch, additional session information may be displayed. The session number is the first number displayed in the show session output.
When invoked to the clear the session history, the command clears the information about all the previous sessions that were logged. The information about the active sessions remains intact.
