Figure 41- User in a Sniff Session
Viewing A Sniff Session
A sniff user enters a sniff session by starting a Telnet session on a specified port. In the following example, a sniff user Telnets to
port 7 of a SERIMUX. From the command prompt enter the following command:
telnet 192.168.100.42 7007
Figure 42- Sniff session user menu
When sniff users login to a port from a Telnet session, a sniff session menu is displayed with these options:
• 1 (Enter as the main session): Disconnects the user of the current main session from the system and allows the new user to
take over as the main session.
• 2 (Initiate a new sniff session): Initiates a new sniff session. Pressing the sniff session escape sequence (the default is Ctrl-Z)
returns the user to the sniff session menu.
• 3 (Take over a main session): Converts the user of the current main session to a sniff session user and enables the new user
to take over the current main session.
• 4 (Kill a sniff session): Kills the sniff session.
• 5 (Send message to port user): Enables sniff session user to send a message to other port users.
• 6 (Quit): Closes the Telnet session.
