Configure Mode

To access Configure mode, enter the following command from CLI prompt:

admin@SBC1> configure <exclusive | private | no-confirm>

where,

<exclusive | private> represents the type of configuration access for the session, either Exclusive or Private. The no-confirm setting can be used in either Exclusive or Private sessions to suppress system prompts for confirmations when entering commands.

If you enter configure with no argument, the system defaults to the Private session.

The following operations are supported in both Exclusive and Private sessions:

• commit – Commit the current set of changes
• delete – Delete a data element
• edit – Edit a sub-element
• exit – Exit from this level
• help – Provide help information
• quit – Exit from this level
• request – Make system-level requests
• revert – Remove latest uncommitted configuration changes from memory
• rollback – Roll back database to last committed version
• set – Set a parameter, flag or configuration
• show – Show a parameter
• status – Display users currently editing the configuration
• top – Exit to top level and optionally run command
• up – Exit one level of configuration

To exit Configure mode, enter either quit or exit.

Exclusive Session

The Exclusive session allows a user to exclusively configure the system via CLI. Only one exclusive session is possible at a time. An exclusive session cannot start if a private session is in the process of committing changes.

Below is an example of setting configure mode to ‘exclusive’.

admin@SBC1> configure exclusive
Entering configuration mode exclusive
Warning: uncommitted changes will be discarded on exit

Private Session

Multiple private sessions can occur simultaneously.

Committed changes in a private session

will update the current configuration while other private sessions are open and active.

Private sessions are allowed concurrently with an exclusive session; however,

private session users cannot commit their changes until the exclusive session ends.

The following

is an example of setting

a session to ‘private’:

admin@SBC1> configure private
Entering configuration mode private
