The CLI configuration rollback feature allows operators to save rollback checkpoint and rescue files that can be used to quickly return the node configuration to a previous state with minimal impacts to services and without restarting the node.
CLI configuration rollback gives operators better control and visibility over router configurations and reduces operational risk while increasing flexibility and providing powerful recovery options.
The location and generic filename of the rollback checkpoint and rescue files must be configured with the rollback-location and rescue-location commands before a rollback file can be saved. Files can be saved locally on the compact flash or on a remote device. The file URL must contain a path or directory and a generic filename with no extension. File suffixes are automatically appended when the file is saved.
