Configuration session—Create a list of commands that you want to implement in session manager
mode.
Validation—Provides a basic semantic check on your configuration. Cisco NX-OS returns an error
if the semantic check fails on any part of the configuration.
Verification—Verifies the configuration as a whole, based on the existing hardware and software
configuration and resources. Cisco NX-OS returns an error if the configuration does not pass this
verification phase.
Commit—Cisco NX-OS verifies the complete configuration and implements the changes atomically
to the device. If a failure occurs, Cisco NX-OS reverts to the original configuration.
Abort—Discards the configuration changes before implementation.
Session Manager supports only the ACL feature.
You can create up to 32 configuration sessions.
You can configure a maximum of 20K commands across all sessions.
