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. An WSS switch supports the following kinds of

Administrative sessions—A network administrator managing the WSS

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

The WSS 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 WSS switch, use the following

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

You can view all administrative sessions, or only the sessions of administrators with access to the WSS 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]]}

Clearing administrative sessions might cause your session to be cleared.
