Managing configuration state within a network node

摘要

A network node maintains an inactive config file of unsuccessfully executed configuration commands. The network node maintains an active config file of active executed configuration commands. In response to a change of conditions that invalidates an active configuration command, the network node moves data from the active config file to the inactive config file. In response to a change of conditions, the network node re-executes inactive commands and moves data from the inactive config file to the active config file if an inactive configuration command is successfully re-executed.
