Prevent configuration changes You can prevent configuration changes on sessions other than the current CLI session using the lock command. Use the lock and unlock commands in EXEC mode to respectively prevent and allow configuration changes on other sessions. When you enter the lock command on a CLI session, users cannot make configuration changes across any other active CLI sessions.
