NOTE
The CLI prompt at the interface level includes the port speed. The speed is one of the following:
Brocade
(config-if–e100-5/1)#
– The interface is a 10/100 port.
Brocade
(config-if–e1000-5/1)#
– The interface is a Gigabit port.
For simplicity, the port speeds sometimes are not shown in example Interface level prompts in this
manual.
Single user in CONFIG mode
By default, more than one user can enter the CONFIG mode of a device CLI, which is accessed
through the configure terminal command. While in CONFIG mode, users can override another
user’s configuration changes.
You can configure a device to allow only one user to be in CONFIG mode at any one time. Other
users who try to enter that mode in will be denied. To allow only one user to enter CONFIG mode,
enter the following command.
Brocade#configure terminal
Brocade(config)# single-config-user
Brocade(config)# write memory
Syntax: [no] single-config-user
After the single-config-user command is issued, the device will not allow more than one user to
enter CONFIG mode. However, if you run the command while more than one user is in CONFIG
mode, the other users continue to be in CONFIG mode and can potentially override each other’s
configuration changes. Only users who try to enter the CONFIG mode after the command is issued
are prevented from entering CONFIG mode. If a user is already in that mode and another user tries
to enter CONFIG mode after the single-config-user command is issued, the following error is
displayed.
Brocade#configure terminal
Single user config mode is being enforced. Config mode is being used by
where session-type can be one of the following:
•
console
•
telnet number
•
SSH number
Multi-user conflict during deletion of
group configuration (or stanza)
By default, a user may delete a group configuration, even if another user is simultaneously in that
mode. You can disable this feature by issuing the enable multi-user-mode-deletion command.
To allow only one user to delete group configurations, enter the following command.
Brocade#configure terminal
Brocade(config)# enable multi-user-mode-deletion
Brocade(config)# write memory
