114 Command Line Interface
Admin command
Description Starts and ends an Admin session. The Admin session allows commands that change the fabric and
switch configurations. Only one Admin session can be started on the switch at any time. An idle
Admin session will time out after a period of time (the default is 30 minutes) which can be changed
using the Set Setup System command.
Authority Admin
Syntax
admin
start (or begin)
end (or stop)
cancel
Operands
start or begin
Opens the Admin session.
end (or stop)
Terminates the Admin session. The Hardreset, Hotreset, Logout, Shutdown, and
Reset Switch
commands will also end an Admin session. The Set Setup System
command will also end an Admin session if the IP address changed.
cancel
Terminates an Admin session opened by another user. Use this operand with care because it
terminates the Admin session without warning the other user and without saving pending
changes.
Notes Closing a Telnet window during an Admin session does not release the session. In this case, you
must either wait for the Admin session to time out, or use the Admin Cancel command.
Examples The following example shows how to open and close an Admin session:
McDATA4GbSAN #> admin start
McDATA4GbSAN (admin) #>
.
.
.
McDATA4GbSAN (admin) #> admin end
McDATA4GbSAN #>
