Commit Options

A set of options using which you can configure committing multiple changes with a single commit.

• Commit—Commits the candidate configuration of the current user session, along with changes from other user sessions.
• Compare—Displays the XML log of pending configurations on the device.
• Discard—Discards the candidate configuration of the current user session, along with changes from other user sessions.

• Preference—Indicates your choice of committing all configurations changes together or committing each configuration change immediately. The two commit options are:

  • Commit changes immediately—Sets the system to force an immediate commit on every page after every configuration change.
  • Validate changes until explicit commit—Loads all configuration changes for an accumulated single commit. If there are errors in loading the configuration, the errors are logged. This is the default mode.

  Note: There are some pages on which configuration changes must be committed immediately. For such pages, if you configure the commit options for a single commit, the system displays warning notifications that remind you to commit your changes immediately. An example for such a page is Switching.
