When you are finished with a session, you need to return to the router to establish
the association between a session (the IDS application) and the router interfaces
you want to monitor.
To toggle between connections in a Telnet session, follow these steps:
Hold CTRL-Shift simultaneously, and then press 6. Release all keys, and then
press x.
This command takes you from a session prompt to a router prompt, and vice versa.
Type the following at the prompt:
Router# disconnect
Press Enter when prompted as follows:
Closing connection to 10.16.0.0 [confirm] <Enter>
Telnet clients vary. In some cases, you may have to press CTRL-6 + x.
Note
The control character is specified as ^^, CTRL-^, or ASCII value 30 (hex
1E).
Failing to close a session properly makes it possible for others to exploit a
connection that is still in place. Remember to type exit at the
close the Cisco IOS session completely. See
page
10-81, for the procedure.
If you use the Telnet disconnect command to leave the session, the session
remains running. The open session can be exploited by someone wanting to take
advantage of a connection that is still in place.
