Using Cisco Fabric Services
When you commit configuration changes to a feature using the CFS infrastructure, you receive a notification
about one of the following responses:
• One or more external switches report a successful status—The application applies the changes locally

You can commit changes for a specified feature by entering the commit command for that feature.

If you discard configuration changes, the application flushes the pending database and releases locks in the
network. Both the abort and commit functions are supported only from the switch from which the network
lock is acquired.
You can discard changes for a specified feature by using the abort command for that feature.

running configuration. The configuration changes in the pending database overwrite the configuration in the
effective database when you commit the changes.
If you do not commit the changes, they are not saved to the running configuration.
