Configuration Rollback
The Configuration Rollback menu enables the user to define a period of time in which
configuration changes can be made and subsequently accepted. If the user does not
explicitly accept the changes being made, then the unit will revert to a configuration
snapshot that was taken when the user started the configuration rollback. In reverting
to this configuration, the unit will reboot. This enables configuration changes to be
made under a safety net. If a configuration change effectively blocks the user's access
to the unit or has any other detrimental effect, the unit, not seeing any user acceptance,
will reboot at the end of the timeout period.
When activated by pressing the Start Configuration Rollback Monitoring button,
each subsequent configuration screen will display the line “Configuration Rollback
is active” at the top of the page, reminding the user that there is a timeout period in
effect, and an eventual reboot of the unit if changes are not accepted. For example:
Please note that the timeout period is re-initialized to the value specified in the
timeout entry field at each user action. Using the above timeout value the user does
not have a maximum of 300 seconds. Rather, each of his actions will reset the timer
to 300 seconds. The timeout mechanism will be in place from the time the user
presses the Start Configuration Rollback Monitoring button until he eventually
goes back to the Configuration Rollback menu and presses the Accept Current
