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 switch 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

DWS-1008# show sessions admin
