Displaying the Active Configuration Sessions

Before you start a configuration session, you might want to check to see if there are other configuration sessions in progress. More than one user can open a target configuration session at a time, allowing multiple users to work on separate target configurations.

The procedure for viewing the active configuration sessions depends on the type of configuration session. For administration configuration sessions, which assign hardware components in SDRs and multishelf systems, you must be in administration EXEC mode to view the active administration configuration sessions. For SDR configuration sessions, you must be in EXEC mode to view the active SDR configuration sessions.

To view the active administration configuration sessions, connect to the DSC and enter the show configuration sessions command in administration EXEC mode, as shown in the following example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:CRS-8_P1# admin

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:CRS-8_P1(admin)# show configuration sessions

Session	Line	User	Date	Lock
00000201-002180dd-00000000	vty0	cisco	Thu Mar 16 14:47:08 2006

To view the active SDR configuration sessions, connect to the appropriate SDR and enter the show configuration sessions command in EXEC mode, as shown in the following example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show configuration sessions

Session	Line	User	Date				Lock
00000201-002180dd-00000000	vty0	test	Thu	Mar 16	13:16:17	2006
00000201-001b307a-00000000	vty2	cisco	Thu	Mar 16	13:16:17	2006	*

If an asterisk (*) appears in the Lock column, the user is using an exclusive configuration session and you cannot start a configuration session until the exclusive configuration session is closed. For more information, see the “Starting an Exclusive Configuration Session” section on page 4-26.

Note Configuration sessions for the administration configuration and each SDR are managed independently. For example, if a user locks the administration configuration, you can still configure an SDR if other users have not locked a configuration session for that SDR.
