checkpoint auto
Syntax
checkpoint auto <TIME-LAPSE-INTERVAL>
Description
Starts auto checkpoint mode. In auto checkpoint mode, the switch temporarily saves the runtime configuration as a checkpoint only for the specified time lapse interval. Configuration changes must be saved before the interval expires, otherwise the runtime configuration is restored from the temporary checkpoint.

Parameters

Specifies the time lapse interval in minutes. Range: 1 to 60.
Authority
Administrators or local user group members with execution rights for this command.
Usage
To save the runtime checkpoint permanently, run the
checkpoint auto confirm
command during the time lapse interval. The filename for the saved checkpoint is named
AUTO<YYYYMMDDHHMMSS>
. If the
checkpoint auto confirm
command is not entered during the specified time lapse interval, the previous runtime configuration is restored.
Examples
Confirming the auto checkpoint:
switch# checkpoint auto 20 Auto checkpoint mode expires in 20 minute(s) switch# WARNING Please "checkpoint auto confirm" within 2 minutes switch# checkpoint auto confirm checkpoint AUTO20170801011154 created
In this example, the runtime checkpoint was saved because the
checkpoint auto confirm
command was entered within the value set by the
time-lapse-interval
parameter, which was 20 minutes.
Not confirming the auto checkpoint:
switch# checkpoint auto 20 Auto checkpoint mode expires in 20 minute(s) switch# WARNING Please "checkpoint auto confirm" within 2 minutes WARNING: Restoring configuration. Do NOT add any new configuration. Restoration successful
In this example, the runtime checkpoint was reverted because the
checkpoint auto confirm
command was not entered within the value set by the
time-lapse-interval
parameter, which was 20 minutes.
