Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

A device allows several users to log in concurrently to perform configurations, which may result in configuration conflicts and service abnormalities. To ensure normal services, one user can run the configuration exclusive command to lock the current configurations and perform subsequent configurations. Other users can only query the configurations.

If the user wants to unlock the configurations, the following methods are available:

Run the undo configuration exclusive command.
If there are no configuration updates when the timer for configuration locking expires, the system unlocks the configurations automatically. The timers for configuration locking can be set using the configuration-occupied timeout command.

Precautions

Other users cannot perform configurations after the configuration exclusive command is run.
You are recommended to run the configuration-occupied timeout command to set a timer for configuration locking. When this timer expires, the system automatically unlocks the configurations and other users can continue to perform configurations.

Example

# Lock the configuration set.

<sysname> configuration exclusive

# Unlock the configuration set.

<sysname> undo configuration exclusive
