Admin
Opens and closes an Admin session. The Admin session provides access to
commands that change the fabric and switch configurations. Only one Admin
session can be open on the switch at any time. An inactive Admin session will
time out after a period of time which can be changed using the Set Setup System
command.

Closes the Admin session. The Hardreset, Hotreset, Quit, Shutdown, and
Reset Switch commands will also end an Admin session.
cancel
Terminates an Admin session opened by another user. Use this keyword with care
because it terminates the Admin session without warning the other user and
without saving pending changes.
Notes Closing a Telnet window during an Admin session does not release the session. In
this case, you must either wait for the Admin session to time out, or use the Admin
Cancel command.
