Locking CONFIGURATION mode<br />

<strong>FTOS</strong> allows multiple users to make configurations at <strong>the</strong> same time. You can lock CONFIGURATION<br />

mode so that only one user can be in CONFIGURATION mode at any time (Message 4).<br />

A two types of locks can be set: auto and manual.<br />

• Set an auto-lock using <strong>the</strong> command configuration mode exclusive auto from CONFIGURATION<br />

mode. When you set an auto-lock, every time a user is in CONFIGURATION mode all o<strong>the</strong>r users are<br />

denied access. This means that you can exit to EXEC Privilege mode, and re-enter<br />

CONFIGURATION mode without having to set <strong>the</strong> lock again.<br />

• Set a manual lock using <strong>the</strong> command configure terminal lock from CONFIGURATION mode. When<br />

you configure a manual lock, which is <strong>the</strong> default, you must enter this command time you want to enter<br />

CONFIGURATION mode and deny access to o<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />

If ano<strong>the</strong>r user attempts to enter CONFIGURATION mode while a lock is in place, Message 3 appears on<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir terminal.<br />

Message 3 CONFIGURATION mode Locked Error<br />

% Error: User "" on line console0 is in exclusive configuration mode<br />

If any user is already in CONFIGURATION mode when while a lock is in place, Message 4 appears on<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir terminal.<br />

Message 4 Cannot Lock CONFIGURATION mode Error<br />

% Error: Can't lock configuration mode exclusively since <strong>the</strong> following users are currently<br />

configuring <strong>the</strong> system:<br />

User "admin" on line vty1 ( 10.1.1.1 )<br />

Note: The CONFIGURATION mode lock corresponds to a VTY session, not a user. There<strong>for</strong>e, if you<br />

configure a lock and <strong>the</strong>n exit CONFIGURATION mode, and ano<strong>the</strong>r user enters CONFIGURATION<br />

mode, when you attempt to re-enter CONFIGURATION mode, you are denied access even though you<br />

are <strong>the</strong> one that configured <strong>the</strong> lock.<br />
