the following command:

Disconnecting a Telnet Session
An administrator-level account can disconnect a Telnet management session. If this happens, the user
logged in by way of the Telnet connection is notified that the session has been terminated.
To terminate a Telnet session, follow these steps:
1 Log in to the switch with administrator privileges.
2 Determine the session number of the session you want to terminate by using the following
command:
show session
3 Terminate the session by using the following command:
clear session <number>
Controlling Telnet Access
By default, Telnet services are enabled on the switch. Telnet access can be restricted by the use of an
access profile. An access profile permits or denies a named list of IP addresses and subnet masks. To
configure Telnet to use an access profile, use the following command:
enable telnet {access-profile [<access_profile> | none]} {port <tcp_port_number>}
Use the none option to remove a previously configured access profile.
To display the status of Telnet, use the following command:
show management
You can choose to disable Telnet by using the following command:
disable telnet
To re-enable Telnet on the switch, at the console port use the following:
enable telnet
You must be logged in as an administrator to enable or disable Telnet.
NOTE
For more information on Access Profiles, see Chapter 9.
