Terminating Sessions

There are two commands you can use to terminate a session on another port:

• The privileged LOGOUT PORT command allows you to manually log out any

port, and all sessions terminate at the speciﬁed port. If the port device supports

session management, the LOGOUT PORT command disconnects all the

terminal sessions (and the associated sessions) then logs out the port.

For example, to disconnect port 4 from all its sessions, enter the following

command:

Local> LOGOUT PORT 4

The port that you specify can have local, remote, or dynamic access. Use

caution when you log out a user’s port. When you log out a port, you

abruptly stop all sessions, and data may be lost. The port characteristics are

also reset to the permanent values.

• The privileged DISCONNECT PORT command allows you to stop another

port’s session with a dedicated service. (You cannot use this command for

ports with session management terminals, because these ports cannot have a

dedicated service.)

You can use the DISCONNECT PORT command to disconnect a nonkeyboard

printer being used by a dedicated service that offers printers to the network.

For example, to stop the session with a dedicated service at port 4, enter the

following command:

Local> DISCONNECT PORT 4
