Candidate Commands
candidate
Syntax candidate
Context <root>
Description
This command enables the context to edit candidate configurations.
Commands in the candidate CLI branch, except candidate edit , are available only when in edit-cfg mode.
edit
Syntax edit [ exclusive ]
Context candidate
Description This command enables the edit-cfg mode where changes can be made to the candidate configuration and
sets the edit-point to the end of the candidate. In edit-cfg mode the CLI prompt contains
edit-cfg near the
root of the prompt. Commands in the candidate CLI branch, except candidate edit , are available only when
in edit-cfg mode.
Parameters exclusive — Allows a user to exclusively create a candidate configuration by blocking other users (and
other sessions of the same user) from entering edit-cfg mode. Exclusive edit-cfg mode can only be
entered if the candidate configuration is empty and no user is in edit-cfg mode. Once a user is in
exclusive edit-cfg mode no other users/sessions are allowed in edit-cfg mode. The user must either
commit or discard the exclusive candidate before leaving exclusive edit-cfg mode. If the CLI session
times out while a user is in exclusive edit-cfg mode then the contents of the candidate are discarded.
The
admin disconnect command can be used to force a user to disconnect (and to clear the contents of
the candidate) if they have the candidate locked.
commit
Syntax commit [ confirmed timeout ] [ comment comment ]
commit no-checkpoint [ confirmed timeout ]
Context candidate
Description This command applies the changes in the candidate configuration to the active running configuration. The
candidate changes will take operational effect.
If a commit operation is successful then all of the candidate changes will take operational effect and the can-
didate is cleared. If there is an error in the processing of the commit, or a ‘commit confirmed’ is not con-
firmed and an auto-revert occurs, then the router will return to a configuration state with none of the
candidate changes applied. The operator can then continue editing the candidate and try a commit later.
