Terminating a session
A Firebox uses a session when it makes a connection between a
computer on the trusted interface and a computer on the external
interface. The Firebox releases the session when:
• the session reaches the idle timeout limit;
• the session reaches the maximum time limit;
• the Firebox administrator uses the Firebox Users page to end the
session
• the user ends the session by closing all browser windows; or
• the Firebox restarts.
To end a session manually:
1 Type the IP address of the trusted network in your browser
window to connect to the System Status page of the Firebox.
The default IP address is: https://192.168.111.1

3 Find the session in Active Sessions list. Click the close button. To
end all sessions, click the Close All button.
