Admin Command

Opens and closes an Admin session. The Admin session provides commands that change the fabric and switch configurations. Only one Admin session can be open on the switch at any time. An inactive Admin session will time out after a period of time which can be changed using the Set Setup System command. Refer to the ”Set Setup Command” on page A-82.

Keywords

start (or begin)

 

Opens the admin session.

 

end (or stop)

 

Closes the admin session. The Hardreset, Hotreset, Logout, Shutdown, and

 

Reset Switch commands will also end an admin session.

 

cancel

 

Terminates an Admin session opened by another user. Use this keyword 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.
