Lock CONFIGURATION Mode

The systems allows multiple users to make congurations 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.
