This example shows how to activate and commit a new configuration.
Command-Line Interface
Device:/> activate
The system will validate and start using the new configuration. When the command prompt is
shown again:
Device:/> commit
The new configuration is now committed.
InControl
Activating and committing changes with InControl is done in a different way to the Web
Interface
Web Interface
1. Go to: Configuration > Save and Activate in the menu bar
2. Click OK to confirm
The web browser will automatically try to connect back to the Web Interface after 10 seconds. If
the connection succeeds, this is interpreted by cOS Core as confirmation that remote
management is still working. The new configuration is then automatically committed.
Note: Changes must be committed
The configuration must be committed before changes are saved. All changes to a
configuration can be ignored simply by not committing a changed configuration.
Configuration Revision Numbers
Every time a new configuration version is created and activated, a configuration revision number
is allocated to the version. This number has two parts and is of the form nn:mm.
The first part of the number, nn, is incremented every time a new configuration is activated
through a non-InControl interface such as the Web Interface or CLI. The second part of the
number, mm, is incremented every time a new configuration is activated through an InControl
client. In the Web Interface, only the first part is displayed as the Configuration number in the start
page.
