Configuration Failures During a Commit Operation

A target configuration is added to the running configuration of a router when the commit command is
entered. During this operation, the changes are automatically verified by the other components in the
system. If successful, the configuration becomes part of the running configuration. If some configuration
items fail, an error message is returned.
To display the configuration items that failed and see the cause of each failure, enter the show
configuration failed command.
Note The show configuration failed command can be entered in either the EXEC mode or any configuration
mode. In any mode, the configuration failures from the most recent commit operation are displayed.
In the following example, a configuration error occurs when an invalid commit operation is attempted:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# taskgroup alr
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-tg)# description this is an example of an invalid taskgroup
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-tg)# commit
% Failed to commit one or more configuration items. Please use 'show configuration failed'
to view the errors
To display the configuration items that failed, including a description of the error, enter the
show configuration failed command:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-tg)# show configuration failed
!! CONFIGURATION FAILED DUE TO SEMANTIC ERRORS
taskgroup alr
!!% Usergroup/Taskgroup names cannot be taskid names
You can also display the failed configuration items without the error description by entering the
show configuration failed noerror command:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-tg)# show configuration failed noerror
!! CONFIGURATION FAILED DUE TO SEMANTIC ERRORS
taskgroup alr
