FTOS Command Reference for the S-Series - Force10 Networks

Multiple Configuration Users
When a user enters the CONFIGURATION mode and another user(s) is already in that
configuration mode, FTOS generates an alert warning message similar to the following:
Force10#conf
% Warning: The following users are currently configuring the system:
User "" on line console0
User "admin" on line vty0 ( 123.12.1.123 )
User "admin" on line vty1 ( 123.12.1.123 )
User "Irene" on line vty3 ( 123.12.1.321 )
Force10(conf)#Force10#
Figure 2 Configuration Mode User Alert
When another user enters the configuration mode, FTOS sends a message similar to the
following, in this case “admin” on vty2:
% Warning: User "admin" on line vty2 "172.16.1.210" is in configuration
Navigating the Command Line
The command line prompt changes as you move up and down the levels of the command
structure. Table 2 lists the current prompts and their corresponding command levels. Starting
with the Configuration mode, the command prompt adds the appropriate modifier to further
identify the mode. The FTOS command modes are explained in the Command Modes section.
Note: Some of the following modes are not available on C-Series or S-Series.
