Rolling Back to the Previous Configuration
FTOS allows you to implement an archived configuration for a specified amount of time, before reverting
to the previous running-configuration using the command
configure replace from EXEC Privilege mode;
FTOS requires you to enter the amount of time in seconds. This feature enables you to test a configuration
before committing the system to it.
• If you do not like the configuration, wait for the specified time to expire, as shown in Figure 12-5.
• If you like the configuration, enter the command
configure confirm from EXEC Privilege mode before
the specified time, as shown in Figure 12-6.
