Releasing Fabric Session Lock
If you have performed a NTP fabric task and have forgotten to release the lock by either committing or
discarding the changes, an administrator can release the lock from any switch in the fabric. If the
administrator performs this task, your changes to the pending database are discarded and the fabric lock
is released.
Tip
The changes are only available in the volatile directory and are subject to being discarded if the switch
is restarted.
To use administrative privileges and release a locked NTP session, use the clear ntp session command.
switch# clear ntp session

NTP Session Status Verification
To verify the status of the NTP session, use the show ntp session-status command.
switch# show ntp session-status

Management Interface Configuration
On director class switches, a single IP address is used to manage the switch. The active supervisor
module's management (mgmt0) interface uses this IP address. The mgmt0 interface on the standby
supervisor module remains in an inactive state and cannot be accessed until a switchover happens. After
a switchover, the mgmt0 interface on the standby supervisor module becomes active and assumes the
same IP address as the previously active supervisor module.
The management interface on the switch allows multiple simultaneous Telnet or SNMP sessions. You
can remotely configure the switch through the management interface, but first you must configure some
IP parameters (IP address, subnet mask) so that the switch is reachable. You can manually configure the
management interface from the CLI.

Be aware that the merge is a a union of the existing and the received database in each switch in the
fabric.
Do not configure an IP address as a server on one switch while and as a peer on another switch. The
merge can fail if this configuration exists.
Verify that the union of the databases does not exceed the max limit of 64.
