Lock CONFIGURATION mode

FTOS 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
A two types of locks can be set: auto and manual.
• Set an auto-lock using the command
mode. When you set an 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 a manual lock using the command
you configure a manual lock, which is the default, you must enter this command time you want to enter
CONFIGURATION mode and deny access to others.
