Multiple Users in Conguration Mode

Dell noties 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 Networking recommends coordinating with the users listed in the message so that you do not

unintentionally overwrite each other’s conguration changes.

Conguring a Unique Host Name on the System

While you can manually congure a host name for the system, you can also congure the system to have a unique host name. The unique

host name is a combination of the platform type and the serial number of the system. The unique host name appears in the command

prompt. The running conguration gets updated with the feature unique-name command. It also overwrites any existing host name

congured on the system using the hostname command.

To create a unique host name, use the following command.

• Create a unique host name.

CONFIGURATION mode

feature unique-name

Example of the feature unique-name Command

Dell(conf)#feature unique-name

FN2210STW000000000022(conf)#

FN2210STW000000000022(conf)#no feature unique-name

Dell(conf)#

Enabling Secured CLI Mode

The secured CLI mode prevents the users from enhancing the permissions or promoting the privilege levels.

• Enter the following command to enable the secured CLI mode:

CONFIGURATION Mode

secure-cli enable

After entering the command, save the running-conguration. Once you save the running-conguration, the secured CLI mode is enabled.

If you do not want to enter the secured mode, do not save the running-conguration. Once saved, to disable the secured CLI mode, you

need to manually edit the startup-conguration le and reboot the system.

Viewing the Reason for Last System Reboot

You can view the reason for the last system reboot. To view the reason for the last system reboot, follow this procedure:

• Use the following command to view the reason for the last system reboot:

EXEC or EXEC Privilege mode
