• Entering yes saves configuration changes to the running configuration file, exits the configuration session,
and returns the router to EXEC mode.
• Entering no exits the configuration session and returns the router to EXEC mode without committing the
configuration changes.
• Entering cancel leaves the router in the current configuration session without exiting or committing the
configuration changes.
• Use the commit command to save the configuration changes to the running configuration file and remain within
the configuration session.
