Setting or Deleting the Rescue Configuration (CLI Procedure)
A rescue configuration is a previously defined, valid configuration with a known state that you can rollback to at any time.
You use the rescue configuration when you need to roll back to a known configuration or if your switch configuration and/or the backup configuration files become damaged beyond repair or if you loose management access to the switch.
The rescue configuration must have been set previously either through the J-Web interface or the CLI.
To set the current active configuration as the rescue configuration:
- user@switch> request system configuration
rescue save
- user@switch>
Activate the rescue configuration you have loaded:
- [edit]
- user@switch# rollback rescue
- load complete
- [edit]
- user@switch# commit
To delete an existing rescue configuration:
- user@switch> request system configuration
rescue delete

Note: If the rescue configuration does not exist, or if the rescue configuration is not a complete, viable configuration, the rollback command fails, an error message appears, and the current configuration remains active. |
