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.
You can then send any user a message using the send command from EXEC Privilege mode. Alternatively, you can clear any line
using the clear command from EXEC Privilege mode. If you clear a console session, the user is returned to EXEC mode.
Example of Locking CONFIGURATION Mode for Single-User Access
DellEMC(conf)#configuration mode exclusive auto
BATMAN(conf)#exit
3d23h35m: %RPM0-P:CP %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console
DellEMC#config
! Locks configuration mode exclusively.
DellEMC(conf)#
If another user attempts to enter CONFIGURATION mode while a lock is in place, the following appears on their terminal
(message 1): % Error: User "" on line console0 is in exclusive configuration mode.
If any user is already in CONFIGURATION mode when while a lock is in place, the following appears on their terminal
(message 2): % Error: Can't lock configuration mode exclusively since the following users are
currently configuring the system: User "admin" on line vty1 ( 10.1.1.1 ).
NOTE: The CONFIGURATION mode lock corresponds to a VTY session, not a user. Therefore, if you configure a lock
and then exit CONFIGURATION mode, and another user enters CONFIGURATION mode, when you attempt to re-enter
CONFIGURATION mode, you are denied access even though you are the one that configured the lock.
NOTE: If your session times out and you return to EXEC mode, the CONFIGURATION mode lock is unconfigured.
