Appendix C Supporting and Using Additional CLI Access Options

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 the CLI 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 the connection after entering the bye command, you can restart a CLI

management session by pressing Return. After you press Return, the switch will prompt you for a

username and password.
