CLI "target" command

[jwolach]

Can someone please explain what the CLI "target" command actually does?  It says that its for a "management session target".  What does that actually mean?

[mikand]

Really good question

The manual doesnt really explain this:

target

Configures and shows a management session target.

Syntax

target {set <value> | show}

Options

> set — Sets the target device

> show — Shows the management session target

Sample Output

The following command displays the management session target.

username@hostname> target show

TBS

username@hostname>

Required Privilege Level

superuser, vsysadmin, deviceadmin

Edit. Could this have to do with either VSYS or when you work in Panorama?

There isn't a target command in Panorama.

Must be VSYS related.
