Activating and Committing a Configuration

After changes to a configuration have been made, the configuration has to be activated for those
changes to have an impact on the running system. During the activation process, the new
proposed configuration is validated and cOS Core will attempt to initialize affected subsystems
with the new configuration data.

Important: Committing IPsec Changes

The administrator should be aware that if any changes that affect the configurations of
live IPsec tunnels are committed, then those live tunnels connections will be terminated
and must be re-established.

If the new configuration is validated, cOS Core will wait for a short period (30 seconds by default)
during which a connection to the administrator must be re-established. If a lost connection could
not be re-established then cOS Core will revert to using the previous configuration. This is a
fail-safe mechanism and, amongst others things, can help prevent a remote administrator from
locking themselves out.
