Configuring Multiple Contexts
Although this context name does not exist yet in your configuration, you can subsequently enter the
context name command to match the specified name to continue the admin context configuration.
Detailed Steps
Command Purpose
Step1 context name
Example:
hostname(config)# context administrator
Adds or modifies a context. The name is a string up to 32
characters long. This name is case sensitive, so you can have two
contexts named “customerA” and “CustomerA,” for example.
You can use letters, digits, or hyphens, but you cannot start or end
the name with a hyphen.
“System” or “Null” (in upper or lower case letters) are reserved
names, and cannot be used.
Step2 (Optional)
description text
Example:
hostname(config)# description
Administrator Context
Adds a description for this context.
