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 DWS-1008 switch supports the following kinds of sessions:
• Administrative sessions - A network administrator managing the switch
• Network sessions - A network user exchanging traffic with a network through the
switch
The 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
switch, use the following command:
show sessions {admin | console | telnet [client]}
You can view all administrative sessions, or only the sessions of administrators with access
to the switch 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.
Displaying and Clearing All Administrative Sessions
To view information about the sessions of all administrative users, type the following
command:
DWS-1008> show sessions admin
