Enables protect mode.
Synopsis protect-mode enable
no protect-mode enable
Operands none
Description In the Blade Center Chassis environment, the Management Module (AMM) controls the operation
of the switch by configuring and initializing it. Protect mode of operation is a special mode which
needs to be supported by both the switch and the AMM. Protect mode results in the AMM ceding
control to the switch. The AMM loses its ability to perform some or all of the operations on the
AMM. Once the AMM cedes control to the switch, the control can be given back to the AMM only by
disabling protect mode on the switch.
Once the switch enters protect mode, AMM's requests to perform any operations are ignored until
the Network Administrator permits them. This behavior is preserved through power-cycles, even
after it is inserted into a different bay or chassis.
Defaults There are no default configurations for this command.
