Managing Configuration Sessions
To commit target configuration changes to the running configuration, type the commit command by
itself or with one or more of the options described in Table 3-5.
Tab l e 3-5 Commit Command Options
Command Description
commit (Default) Merges the target configuration with the running configuration
and commits changes only if all changes in the target configuration pass
the semantic verification process. If any semantic errors are found, none
of the configuration changes takes effect.
commit best-effort Merges the target configuration with the running configuration and
commits only valid changes (best effort). Some configuration changes
might fail due to semantic errors.
commit comment line (Optional) Assigns a comment to a commit.
• This text comment appears in the commit entry displayed with the
show configuration commit list [detail] command.
• The line argument is the text for the optional comment or label.
• The comment option must appear at the end of the command line. If
multiple options are entered, all text after the comment option is
treated as a comment.
commit confirmed
seconds
(Optional) Commits the configuration in global configuration mode on a
trial basis for a minimum of 30 seconds and a maximum of 300 seconds
(5 minutes).
• During the trial configuration, enter commit to confirm the
configuration. If you do not type the commit command, the router
reverts to the previous configuration when the trial time period
expires.
• The confirmed option is not available in administration
configuration mode.
commit label line (Optional) Assigns a meaningful label. This label appears in the output
for the show configuration commit list [detail] command instead of the
numeric label.
• The line argument is the text for the optional comment or label.
commit force (Optional) Merges the target configuration with the running
configuration and allows a configuration commit in low-memory
conditions.
A low-memory warning occurs when a user attempts to commit a target
configuration that exceeds the default capacity of the router.
The recommended resolution to such a warning is to remove
configurations using the no commands.
Caution The force option can cause the router to experience severe
problems if low-memory conditions occur. The force option
should be used only to remove configurations.
commit replace (Optional) Replaces the contents of the running configuration with the
target configuration.
