Terminate connections manually
In the Connections view, you can manually terminate any current connection.
For example, you can remove an inactive connection that has not been properly closed. Terminating an open connection alone does not prevent any new connection from opening again.
You can terminate connections manually on the following types of engines and interfaces:
- Layer 3 physical interfaces on Engines
- Inline Interfaces on Engines, IPS engines, and Layer 2 Engines

- Select one or more connections in the table.
- Right-click a selected row, then select Terminate.
