Commit Command Options
Description
(Default) Merges the target configuration with the running configuration
and commits changes only if all changes in the target configuration pass
the semantic verification process. If any semantic errors are found, none
of the configuration changes takes effect.
Merges the target configuration with the running configuration and
commits only valid changes (best effort). Some configuration changes
might fail due to semantic errors.
(Optional) Assigns a comment to a commit.
This text comment is displayed in the commit entry displayed with
•
the show configuration commit list [detail] command.
The line argument is the text for the optional comment or label.
•
The comment option must appear at the end of the command line. If
•
multiple options are entered, all text after the comment option is
treated as a comment.
(Optional) Commits the configuration in global configuration mode on a
trial basis for a minimum of 30 seconds and a maximum of 300 seconds
(5 minutes).
During the trial configuration, enter commit to confirm the
•
configuration. If you do not enter the commit command, the router
reverts to the previous configuration when the trial time period
expires.
The confirmed option is not available in administration
•
configuration mode.
(Optional) Assigns a meaningful label. This label is displayed in the
output for the show configuration commit list [detail] command instead
of the numeric label.
The line argument is the text for the optional comment or label.
•
(Optional) Merges the target configuration with the running
configuration and allows a configuration commit in low-memory
conditions.
A low-memory warning occurs when a user attempts to commit a target
configuration that exceeds the default capacity of the router.
The recommended resolution to such a warning is to remove
configurations using the no commands.
Caution The force option can cause the router to experience severe
problems if low-memory conditions occur. The force option
should be used only to remove configurations.
(Optional) Replaces the contents of the running configuration with the
target configuration.
