Description

Use this command to enable or disable protect mode. In the Blade Center Chassis environment,
the Advanced 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.

Usage Guidelines

Enter no protect-mode enable to disable this command.
