2 protect-mode enable protect-mode enable Enables protect mode. Synopsis protect-mode enable no protect-mode enable Operands none Description In the Blade Center Chassis environment, the Management Module (AMM) controls the operation of the switch by configuring and initializing it. Protect mode of operation is a special mode which needs to be supported by both the switch and the AMM. Protect mode results in the AMM ceding control to the switch. The AMM loses its ability to perform some or all of the operations on the AMM. Once the AMM cedes control to the switch, the control can be given back to the AMM only by disabling protect mode on the switch. Once the switch enters protect mode, AMM's requests to perform any operations are ignored until the Network Administrator permits them. This behavior is preserved through power-cycles, even after it is inserted into a different bay or chassis. Defaults There are no default configurations for this command. Command Privileged EXEC mode Modes User Guidelines Use no protect-mode enable to disable this command. Example none See Also none 20 Dell Converged Enhanced Ethernet Command Reference 53-1002115-01
