Packets are exchanged during a session. A WSS supports the following kinds of sessions:• Administrative sessions—A network administrator managing the WSS• Network sessions—A network user exchanging traffic with a network through the WSSThe WSS session manager manages the sessions for each client, but does not examine the substance of the traffic.Clearing (ending) a session deauthenticates the administrator or user from the session and disassociates wireless clients.Displaying and clearing administrative sessionsTo display session information and statistics for a user with administrative access to the WSS, use the followingcommand:show sessions {admin | console | telnet [client]}You can view all administrative sessions, or only the sessions of administrators with access to the WSS through a Telnetor SSH connection or the console port.
