Information About Session Manager
Session Manager allows you to implement your configuration changes in batch mode. Session Manager works in the following phases:
-
Configuration session—Creates a list of commands that you want to implement in session manager mode.
-
Validation—Provides a basic semantic check on your configuration. Cisco NX-OS returns an error if the semantic check fails on any part of the configuration.
-
Verification—Verifies the configuration as a whole, based on the existing hardware and software configuration and resources. Cisco NX-OS returns an error if the configuration does not pass this verification phase.
-
Commit— Cisco NX-OS verifies the complete configuration and implements the changes atomically to the device. If a failure occurs, Cisco NX-OS reverts to the original configuration.
-
Abort—Discards the configuration changes before implementation.
You can optionally end a configuration session without committing the changes. You can also save a configuration session.
Configuration Guidelines and Limitations
Session Manager has the following configuration guidelines and limitations:
Configuring Session Manager
Creating a Session
You can create up to 32 configuration sessions. To create a configuration session, perform this task:
1.
switch#
configure session
name
2.
(Optional)
switch(config-s)#
show configuration session [name]
3.
(Optional)
switch(config-s)#
save
location
DETAILED STEPS
Configuring ACLs in a Session
You can configure ACLs within a configuration session. To configure ACLs within a configuration session, perform this task:
1.
switch#
configure session
name
2.
switch(config-s)#
ip access-list
name
3.
(Optional)
switch(config-s-acl)#
permit
protocol source destination
4.
switch(config-s-acl)#
interface
interface-type number
5.
switch(config-s-if)#
ip port access-group
name
in
6.
(Optional)
switch#
show configuration session [name]
DETAILED STEPS
Verifying a Session
To verify a session, use the following command in session mode:
|
Command |
Purpose |
|---|---|
| switch(config-s)# verify [verbose] |
Verifies the commands in the configuration session. |
Committing a Session
To commit a session, use the following command in session mode:
|
Command |
Purpose |
|---|---|
| switch(config-s)# commit [verbose] |
Commits the commands in the configuration session. |
Saving a Session
To save a session, use the following command in session mode:
|
Command |
Purpose |
|---|---|
| switch(config-s)# save location |
(Optional) Saves the session to a file. The location can be in bootflash or volatile. |
Discarding a Session
To discard a session, use the following command in session mode:
|
Command |
Purpose |
|---|---|
| switch(config-s)# abort |
Discards the configuration session without applying the commands. |
Session Manager Example Configuration
This example shows how to create a configuration session for ACLs:
switch# configure session name test2
switch(config-s)# ip access-list acl2
switch(config-s-acl)# permit tcp any any
switch(config-s-acl)# exit
switch(config-s)# interface Ethernet 1/4
switch(config-s-ip)# ip port access-group acl2 in
switch(config-s-ip)# exit
switch(config-s)# verify
switch(config-s)# exit
switch# show configuration session test2
Verifying Session Manager Configuration
To verify Session Manager configuration information, use the following commands:
|
Command |
Purpose |
|---|---|
| switch# show configuration session [name] |
Displays the contents of the configuration session. |
| switch# show configuration session status [name] |
Displays the status of the configuration session. |
| switch# show configuration session summary |
Displays a summary of all the configuration sessions. |
