Cisco CCNA (640-553) Security Training
Using the “aaa session-mib disconnect” command
By Charles Ross CCNA - CCNP #CSCO10444244
In today’s article, I’m going to quickly inform you about the Cisco IOS global configuration mode command named “aaa session-mib disconnect”.
CCNA’s (like you) use the “aaa session-mib disconnect” command to enable (allow) a router to disconnect by using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
In other words, network administrators use the command to terminate authenticated client connections using SNMP.
Below is the command’s syntax:
aaa session-mib disconnect
As you can see, the command is extremely easy to implement; the “disconnect” keyword tells the router that it’s o.k. to terminate an AAA session using SNMP.
Below is an example of the command being used:
Router>enable
Router#configure terminal
Router(config)#aaa new-model
Router(config)#aaa session-mib disconnect
Router(config)#exit
Router#copy run start
In the example above, the router is being told (enabled) to disconnect authenticated AAA clients (sessions) using SNMP.
And, just like mostly all Cisco IOS commands; you can use the word “no” in front of the command to remove (disable) the configured command; like you see below:
Router(config)#no aaa session-mib disconnect
By the way, if you decide to use the command, make sure your router(s) is running Cisco IOS 12.1(3)T or higher.
I hope this article was very informative and helped you quickly understand the usage of the aaa session-mib disconnect command.
