Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

A device allows several users to log in concurrently to perform manual configurations, which may cause configuration conflicts and service exceptions. To prevent service exceptions, run the configuration exclusive command to lock and modify the configuration. Other users can then only query the configuration.

To unlock the configuration, do either of the following:

Run the undo configuration exclusive command.
Do not modify the configuration in the configured lock interval. The system then automatically unlocks the configuration. To configure the lock interval, run the configuration-occupied timeout command.

Precautions

After you run the configuration exclusive command, other users cannot modify the system configuration, so confirm your action before running this command.
Before you run the configuration exclusive command, run the configuration-occupied timeout command to configure the maximum lock interval so that the system can automatically unlock the configuration after this interval.

Example

# Lock the current system configuration.

<HUAWEI> configuration exclusive

# Unlock the system configuration.

<HUAWEI> undo configuration exclusive
