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 which can be changed using the Set Setup System command. 
Refer to the 

Admin

start (or begin)
end (or stop)

start (or begin)
Opens the admin session.

end (or stop)
Closes the admin session. The Hardreset, Hotreset, 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.

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.

The following example shows how to open and close an Admin session:

SANbox Manager #> admin start

SANbox Manager (admin) #>

SANbox Manager (admin) #> admin end
