A two types of locks can be set: auto and manual.

Set an auto-lock using the command

mode. When you set an auto-lock, every time a user is in CONFIGURATION mode all other users are

denied access. This means that you can exit to EXEC Privilege mode, and re-enter

CONFIGURATION mode without having to set the lock again.

Set a manual lock using the command

you configure a manual lock, which is the default, you must enter this command time you want to enter

CONFIGURATION mode and deny access to others.

If another user attempts to enter CONFIGURATION mode while a lock is in place,

their terminal.

Message 1 CONFIGURATION mode Locked Error

% Error: User "" on line console0 is in exclusive configuration mode

If any user is already in CONFIGURATION mode when while a lock is in place,

their terminal.

Message 2 Cannot Lock CONFIGURATION mode Error

% Error: Can't lock configuration mode exclusively since the following users are currently

configuring the system:

User "admin" on line vty1 ( 10.1.1.1 )

Note: The CONFIGURATION mode lock corresponds to a VTY session, not a user. Therefore, if you

configure a lock and then exit CONFIGURATION mode, and another user enters CONFIGURATION

mode, when you attempt to re-enter CONFIGURATION mode, you are denied access even though you

are the one that configured the lock.

Note: If your session times out and you return to EXEC mode, the CONFIGURATION mode lock is

unconfigured.
