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 that can be changed using the Set Setup System command. See the “Set Setup
command” on page 35.

Keywords
start
Opens the admin session.
end
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.
