Lock CONFIGURATION Mode
Dell Networking OS 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 lockst: 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 setting 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.
