Rolling back to a stable configuration using job scheduler

Procedure

Configure the job using alias with the required configuration.

alias <name> <command-list>
job <name> delay [[DD:]HH:]MM <command>

To schedule a job execution with cfg-restore operation once after 15 minutes (00:00:15):

alias "cfg_rollback" "cfg-restore flash stable"
job "cfg_stable" delay 00:00:15 "cfg_rollback" count 1

Back up the current stable configuration using the command cfg-backup running-config config <config_name>.
```
cfg-backup running-config config stable
```

Check the backup configuration using the command show config files.

switch(config)# show config files

Configuration files:

id | act pri sec | name
---+-------------+-------
1  |  *   *   *  | config
2  |             | stable
3  |             |
4  |             |
5  |             |

Edit the configuration as needed. If the user is still connected to the switch, the configuration is stable and the job which reloads the older configuration can be cancelled using the command no job cfg_stable.
switch(config)# no job cfg_stable

If the user loses connectivity after applying the new configuration, the job scheduler executes the job after the 15-minute timer expires, and "stable" configuration is restored. Use the following commands to check the output:

switch(config)# show job cfg_stable
switch(config)# show cfg-restore status

switch(config)# show job cfg_stable
