Rolling Back to a Previous Configuration
To roll back your configuration to a snapshot copy of a previously saved configuration, you need to perform
the following steps:
1
Clear the current running image with the write erase command.
2
Restart the device with the reload command.
By default, the reload command reloads the device from a binary version of the startup configuration.
Beginning with Cisco NX-OS 6.2(2), you can use the reload ascii command to copy an ASCII version
of the configuration to the start up configuration when reloading the device.
Note
3
Copy the previously saved configuration file to the running configuration with the copy configuration_file
running-configuration command.
4
Copy the running configuration to the start-up configuration with the copy running-config startup-config
command.
