Serial ports interrupted due to link disconnection, power failure, or other reasons force out the user
and end the user session. Ending the user session ensures a maintenance port is not available with
an active session that can allow unauthorized use by someone other than the authenticated user,
and prevents the physical hijacking of an active session by unplugging the connected cable and
plugging in another.
By default, the feature is disabled with enhanced secure mode disabled. If enhanced secure mode
is enabled, the default is enabled.
For more information on enhanced secure mode, see
