It is always necessary to conclude the configuration and check phases by the save command, in
order to make permanent the values assigned to the different parameters.
It is also possible to manage the intermediate phases of configuration.
The CLI command set checkpoint allows the creation of an intermediate saving, named
checkpoint. It is useful in order to save a type of configuration in a certain moment. Using the
restore checkpoint command it is possible to recover the specific configuration saved.
For example:
set checkpoint step1
creates an intermediate saving which can be recalled at any time by using the command:
restore checkpoint step1
To learn how many checkpoint are set, use
show checkpoint-list
and to remove one:
set no-checkpoint <name>
To make the configuration changes effective, it is necessary to execute the save command and
make the reboot of the router.
The command:
sync-config
allows to accommodate the router to a specific configuration.
The specific configuration can be a default one (saved, started) or it can be loaded from a
properly uploaded command file.
The command syntax is:
sync-config <conf-file> immediately
sync-config <conf-file> in N seconds
where <conf-file> can be one of the keyword saved, started, or a file containing the
configuration commands to apply.
In this case you have to specify the absolute path of the file with its own extension (*.txt, *.cli, etc..).
The configuration can be applied:
immediately
after a selected time (N seconds)
after the next reboot of the router
sync-config <conf-file> on-next-reboot [<watch-ip> <tmout> <rstr>]
In case of next-reboot, the router will be rebooted with the saved configuration and immediately
after it applies the commands included into <conf-file>.
Some control parameters are:
<watch-ip>
after the new configuration is be applied, ICMP packets will be sent to the watch-ip IP address.
