FTOS#

Lock CONFIGURATION mode

FTOS allows multiple users to make configurations at the same time. You can lock CONFIGURATION

mode so that only one user can be in CONFIGURATION mode at any time (Message 2).

A two types of locks can be set: auto and manual.

• Set an auto-lock using the command

configuration mode exclusive auto from CONFIGURATION

mode. When you set an auto-lock, every time a user is in CONFIGURATION mode all other users are

denied access. This means that you can exit to EXEC Privilege mode, and re-enter

CONFIGURATION mode without having to set the lock again.

• Set a manual lock using the command

configure terminal lock from CONFIGURATION mode. When

you configure a manual lock, which is the default, you must enter this command time you want to enter

CONFIGURATION mode and deny access to others.

Figure 4-1. Locking CONFIGURATION mode

If another user attempts to enter CONFIGURATION mode while a lock is in place, Message 1 appears on

their terminal.

If any user is already in CONFIGURATION mode when while a lock is in place, Message 2 appears on

their terminal.
