Multiple Users in Configuration Mode
Dell EMC Networking OS notifies all users when there are multiple users logged in to CONFIGURATION mode.
A warning message indicates the username, type of connection (console or VTY), and in the case of a VTY connection, the IP address of
the terminal on which the connection was established. For example:
• On the system that telnets into the switch, this message appears:
% Warning: The following users are currently configuring the system:
User "<username>" on line console0
• On the system that is connected over the console, this message appears:
% Warning: User "<username>" on line vty0 "10.11.130.2" is in configuration mode
If either of these messages appears, Dell EMC Networking recommends coordinating with the users listed in the message so that you do
not unintentionally overwrite each other’s configuration changes.
