Admin Command
Opens and closes an Admin session. The Admin session provides 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.
Refer to the Set Setup Command on page A-37.

Keywords start
Opens the admin session.
end
Closes the admin session. The Logout, 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.
Examples The following example shows how to open and close an Admin session:
SANbox2 #> admin start
SANbox2 (admin) #>

SANbox2 (admin) #> admin end
