Lock CONFIGURATION Mode
The systems 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).
You can set two types of locks: auto and manual.
• Set auto-lock using the configuration mode exclusive auto command from CONFIGURATION
mode. When you set 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 manual lock using the configure terminal lock command from CONFIGURATION mode.
When you configure a manual lock, which is the default, you must enter this command each time you
want to enter CONFIGURATION mode and deny access to others.
Viewing the Configuration Lock Status
If you attempt to enter CONFIGURATION mode when another user has locked it, you may view which user
has control of CONFIGURATION mode using the show configuration lock command from EXEC
Privilege mode.
