An Admin session prevents other accounts from making changesat the same time through Telnet, Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, or anothermanagement application. You must also open a Config Edit session with theConfig Edit command and indicate which configuration you want to modify. If youdo not specify a configuration name the active configuration is assumed.The Config Edit session provides access to the Set Config commands with whichyou make modifications to the port, switch, port threshold alarm, or zoningconfiguration components as shown:SANbox #> admin startSANbox (admin) #> config editThe config named default is being edited.SANbox (admin-config)#> set config port . . .SANbox (admin-config)#> set config switch . . .SANbox (admin-config)#> set config threshold . . .SANbox (admin-config)#> set config zoning . . .The Config Save command saves the changes you made during the Config Editsession.
