Creating a Configuration Checkpoint
To create a configuration checkpoint, use the
checkpoint create
command in
Exec mode in the context for which you want to create a checkpoint. The ACE
supports a maximum of 10 checkpoints for each context.
Be sure that the current running configuration is stable and is the configuration
that you want to make a checkpoint. If you change your mind after creating the
checkpoint, you can delete it. See the
“Deleting a Configuration Checkpoint”
section.
The syntax of this command is:
checkpoint create
name
The
name
argument specifies the unique identifier of the checkpoint. Enter a text
string with no spaces and a maximum of 64 alphanumeric characters.
For example, enter:
host1/Admin#
checkpoint create MYCHECKPOINT
Generating configuration....
Created checkpoint 'MYCHECKPOINT'
If the checkpoint already exists, you are prompted to overwrite it as follows:
Checkpoint already exists
Do you want to overwrite it? (y/n) [n]
y
Generating configuration....
Created checkpoint 'MYCHECKPOINT'
The default is
n
. If you do not want to overwrite the existing checkpoint, press
Enter
. To overwrite the existing checkpoint, enter
y
.
Deleting a Configuration Checkpoint
To delete a configuration checkpoint, use the
checkpoint delete
command in
Exec mode. Before you use this command, make sure that you want to delete the
checkpoint. When you enter this command, the ACE removes the checkpoint from
Flash memory. The syntax of this command is:
checkpoint delete
name
