Viewing Active Telnet Sessions

Avaya P550R, P580, P880, and P882 Multiservice Switch User Guide, Version 5.3.1
Once logged into the switch via telnet session, you can manage the
switch using the CLI commands. For more information on CLI
commands, see the Command Reference Guide for the Avaya P550R,
P580, P880, and P882 Multiservice Switches, Version 5.3.1.
The Avaya Multiservice Switch supports a maximum of 6
concurrent telnet sessions. This allows multiple network
administrators to connect to and manage the switch. However, if
multiple telnet sessions are opened, configurations changes from
one session could be overwritten by configuration changes from
another.
* Note: Avaya recommends that you use one telnet session at a
time to manage the switch.
Although it is possible to establish nested telnet sessions, Avaya
recommends that you establish a separate telnet session for each
switch that you want to manage. A nested telnet session occurs
when you establish a telnet session from a client to one switch, then
through that session, open another telnet session to a second switch.
Having a separate telnet session for each switch that you want to
manage will help to avoid confusion.
To terminate the telnet session gracefully, exit the management
session by repeatedly typing exit until you reach the "Login" prompt.
To end the telnet session from the client, enter the client-specific
command to terminate the session.
When entering CLI commands in a telnet session, memory is
allocated to hold the CLI command history. Closing the telnet
session abruptly by terminating the telnet client application does not
free this memory and may cause the switch to reset.
Close the Telnet session gracefully as explained in the previous
section.
To view active telnet sessions on the switch enter the show
sessions command as shown in the example below. A list of active
telnet sessions will be displayed.
