Configuring User Profiles
Using Expert Mode
Caution
OL-5647-02
Expert mode allows you to turn the CSS confirmation capability on or off. Expert
mode is available in SuperUser mode and is off by default. When expert mode is
off, the CSS prompts you for confirmation when you:
Execute commands that could delete or change operating parameters
•
Exit a terminal session (console or Telnet) without copying the running
•
configuration to the startup configuration
Create services, owners, and content rules
•
Turning expert mode on disables the CSS from prompting you for confirmation
when you make changes. When you exit from the CSS, all configuration changes
are automatically saved to the profile and to the running-config file. You are not
prompted for confirmation to save the changes.
To enable expert mode, enter:
# expert
To allow the CSS to prompt you for confirmation before executing configuration
commands, enter:
# no expert
For example, when you enter the command to create an owner and expert mode is
off, the CSS prompts you to verify the command, enter:
(config)# owner arrowpoint.com
Create owner <arrowpoint.com>, [y/n]:y
(config-owner[arrowpoint.com])#
