Ending a CLI Management Session

When you have successfully established a secure CLI session, the SSH client will display information
similar to the following:
SSH Secure Shell 3.2.0 (Build 267)

If the switch prompt does not appear, press Enter.
Step 3
The switch prompt comes from the switch and indicates that the workstation has successfully connected
to the switch. When the SSH Secure Shell message appears with the switch prompt, you have established
a secure CLI management session, and you are ready to begin switch configuration and monitoring.
Ending a CLI Management Session
CLI management sessions automatically terminate after the configured idle time. The default idle time
is 600 seconds (10 minutes) and can be changed with the timeout command. To end a CLI management
session, enter the bye command.
Note This command ends a CLI, SSH, or Telnet TCP session. It does not terminate the connection to the
switch. For example, the bye command does not terminate a dial-up connection, a terminal server
connection, a local LAN connection, or an ATM WAN connection. The connection remains in place until
you terminate it using the terminal emulation software or Telnet client software. Some client software
packages include commands to terminate the connection, and most client software packages close
connections when you quit the program.
If you have not terminated a nonTCP connection after entering the bye command, you can restart a CLI
management session by pressing Return. After you press Return, the switch prompts you for a
username and password. The bye command terminates a TCP connection, so you must reestablish a TCP
connection before you can restart a CLI management session.
