Disconnecting a
Telnet Session
For security purposes, an administrator access level account can 
disconnect a management session that has been established by way of 
a Telnet connection. If this happens, the user logged on by way of the 
Telnet connection is notified that the session has been terminated.
To terminate a Telnet session, follow these steps:
Logon to the Switch with an administrator access level.

typing
show session
