Network Voyager Session Management

IPSO session management lets administrators prevent multiple users from making simultaneous configuration changes, whether they are using Nokia Network Voyager or the CLI. When you log in, you can acquire an exclusive configuration lock so that other users cannot make configuration changes to an appliance while you are logged into it. Sessions are logged out automatically after a period of inactivity that you can specify, or the user can manually log out at any time.
