commit

Use this command to commit the candidate configuration to the running configuration.

 

  • After a successful commit command, you must give the Basic Commands command to save the running configuration to the startup configuration.
  • Multiple configurations cannot be removed with a single commit. You must remove each configuration followed by a commit.

Optionally with “confirmed commit”, you can commit the configuration on a trial basis for a time specified in seconds. If you do not confirm within the specified time, the configuration will be reverted after the timeout.

• To revert the configuration before timeout, then give the cancel-commit (WORD|) command.
• To retain the configuration before timeout, then give the confirm-commit (WORD|) command.

See RFC 6241 “Confirmed Commit Capability”.

 

  • If a <commit> operation is executed without any parameters, the commit will be treated as permanent, and an explicit confirm-commit (WORD|) operation is not necessary to confirm the commit.
  • Multiple confirmed commits in the same session or different sessions are not supported. The commit command does not support the <persist-id> parameter as specified in RFC 6241.

  • The <confirm-commit> and <cancel-commit> commands can be used from different sessions with the appropriate commit ID.
