About the Session
Manager

A session is a related set of communication transactions between an
authenticated user (client) and the specific station to which the client is
bound. Packets are exchanged during a session. A WX switch supports
the following kinds of sessions:

„

Administrative sessions — A network administrator managing the
WX

„

Network sessions — A network user exchanging traffic with a
network through the WX

The WX session manager manages the sessions for each client, but does
not examine the substance of the traffic.

Clearing (ending) a session deauthenticates the administrator or user
from the session and disassociates wireless clients.

Displaying and
Clearing
Administrative
Sessions

To display session information and statistics for a user with administrative
access to the WX switch, use the following command:

display sessions {admin | console | telnet [client]}

You can view all administrative sessions, or only the sessions of
administrators with access to the WX through a Telnet or SSH connection
or the console port. You can also display information about administrative
Telnet sessions from remote clients.

To clear administrative sessions, use the following command:

clear sessions {admin | console | telnet
[client [session-id]]}

CAUTION: Clearing administrative sessions might cause your session to
be cleared.
