Deleting a TCP Connection

This procedure explains how you can use the TCP connections table to
end a Telnet, SSH, or web browser management session on a switch.
This procedure is useful if a manager forgot to log out after ending a
session or if you suspect that an unauthorized person is accessing the
switch’s management software.

Before performing this procedure, display the TCP table by performing the
procedure “Displaying the TCP Connections” on page 195 and write down
on paper the index number of the connection you want to end. A web
browser management session can consist of more than one TCP
connection.

You cannot delete the entries for the listening sockets for the Telnet, SSH,
and web browser servers. To remove a listening socket entry from the
table, disable the corresponding server.

To delete a TCP connection, perform the following procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, type 5 to select System Administration.

The System Administration menu is shown in Figure 4 on page 54.

2. From the System Administration menu, type 9 to select System

Utilities.

The System Utilities menu is shown in Figure 7 on page 61.

3. From the System Utilities menu, type 6 to select Networking Stack.

The Networking Stack menu is shown in Figure 55 on page 189.

4. From the Networking Stack menu, type 7 to select Delete TCP

Connection.

5. Enter the connection index number.

To display the TCP connections and see the index numbers, refer to
“Displaying the TCP Connections” on page 195.

Enter. You can enter only one index number at a time.

The connection is deleted and the table is refreshed.
