Deleting a TCP Connection
This procedure explains how you can use the TCP connections table to
end a remote Telnet or web browser management session on a switch.
This procedure is useful if a manager forgot to log out after ending a
session or if you suspect that an unauthorized person is accessing the
switch’s management software.
Before performing this procedure, display the TCP table by performing
the procedure Displaying the TCP Connections Table on page 341 and
write down on paper the index number of the connection you want to
end. A web browser management session can consist of more than one
TCP connection.
You cannot delete the entries for the listening sockets for the Telnet,
SSH, and web browser servers. To remove a listening socket entry from
the table, disable the corresponding server.
To delete a TCP connection so as to end the corresponding Telnet or
web browser management session, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 5 to select System Administration.
The System Administration menu is shown in Figure 7 on page 55.
2. From the System Administration menu, type 9 to select System
Utilities.
The System Utilities menu is shown in Figure 9 on page 61.
3. From the System Utilities menu, type 6 to select Networking Stack.
The Networking Stack menu is shown in Figure 118 on page 335.
4. From the Networking Stack menu, type 7 to select Delete TCP
Connection.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter the TCP Connection Index: [0 to 65535] ->
5. Enter the index number of the TCP connection you want to delete
from the table. You can enter only one index number at a time. To
display the index numbers, refer to Displaying the TCP Connections
Table on page 341.
Deleting a TCP connection immediately ends the associated
Telnet or web browser management session.
6. To delete additional TCP connection, repeat steps 4 and 5.
7. Return to the Main Menu.
