    Setting or Deleting the Rescue Configuration

    A rescue configuration is user-defined configuration that restores connectivity to switch. You set a current committed configuration to be the rescue configuration through the CLI. If someone inadvertently commits a configuration that denies management access to a QFX Series product and the console port is not accessible, you can overwrite the invalid configuration and replace it with the rescue configuration. The rescue configuration is a previously committed, valid configuration. We recommend that the rescue configuration include the IP address (accessible from the network) for the management port.

    To set the current active configuration as the rescue configuration:

    user@switch> request system configuration rescue save

    To delete an existing rescue configuration:

    user@switch> request system configuration rescue delete
