Cisco Nexus 3548 - Creating a Checkpoint

•
You can start a checkpoint filename with the word auto.
•
You can name a checkpoint file summary or any abbreviation of the word summary.
•
Only one user can perform a checkpoint, rollback, or copy the running configuration to the startup
configuration at the same time.
•
After you enter the write erase and reload command, checkpoints are deleted. You can use the clear
checkpoint database command to clear out all checkpoint files.
•
When checkpoints are created on bootflash, differences with the running-system configuration cannot
be performed before performing the rollback, and the system reports “No Changes.”
•
Checkpoints are local to a switch.
•
Checkpoints that are created using the checkpoint and checkpoint checkpoint_name commands are
present upon a switchover for all switches.
•
A rollback to files on bootflash is supported only on files that are created using the checkpoint
checkpoint_name command and not on any other type of ASCII file.
•
Checkpoint names must be unique. You cannot overwrite previously saved checkpoints with the same
name.
•
The Cisco NX-OS commands may differ from the Cisco IOS commands.
Creating a Checkpoint
You can create up to ten checkpoints of your configuration per switch.
