B – Command Line Interface Admin Command

Q

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 B-38.

Authority	Admin
Syntax	admin
	start (or begin)
	end (stop)
	cancel
Keywords	start (or begin)
	Opens the admin session.
	end (or stop)
	Closes the admin session. The 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.
Examples	The following example shows how to open and close an Admin session:
	SANbox2 #> admin start
	SANbox2 (admin) #>
	.
	.
	.
	SANbox2 (admin) #> admin end
