Enter an IPv6 address in the format 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000. Elision of zeros

is supported.

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 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.

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.
