Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

Cisco IOS XR software supports generic alias definitions for various entities. Any physical or logical entity can have an alias as a reference. For example, an alias can refer to a command, a partial command, a group of commands, a location, or an IP address.

An alias must first be defined. The alias can then be used in command lines in place of the defined entity.

Following is a list of properties for an alias:

•An alias can be used anywhere, in any mode or submode.

•An alias can have zero, one, or many parameters.

•An alias can refer to those parameters with the $ sign.

•If an alias refers to more than one command, the commands must be separated by a semicolon (;).

•The size of the alias command is limited to 1024 characters.

The alias command can be used anywhere. If the content referenced by the alias is invalid or inappropriate in that context or submode, the system issues a warning message containing the substituted content.

An alias name should not be a subset of the keywords that it represents as alias. Substitution is done only when the entered input match fails completely. For instance, the attempt to define an alias with config as the alias name fails, as shown here:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# (config)# alias config set_host hostname router

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# (config)# show configuration

alias set_host hostname router

Use the show aliases command to display all command aliases or the command aliases in a specified mode.

Task ID

Task ID	Operations
logging	read, write

Examples

The following example shows how to create an alias named ipbr for the show ipv4 interface brief command, commit the configuration, enter EXEC mode, and then enter the configured alias:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# alias ipbr show ipv4 interface brief

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# show configuration 

Building configuration... 

alias ipbr show ipv4 interface brief 

end

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# commit

The following example shows how to define an alias, cisco's-pos, for interface POS1/0/2/3 and then how to use that alias to shut down the interface:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# alias cisco's-pos POS1/0/2/3 

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface cisco's-pos 

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# shutdown

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# exit

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)#

The following example shows the use of a parameter name in an alias definition:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# alias shint (intname) show interface $intname

The following example shows an alias defined with one parameter and two commands:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# alias shint_both (intname) show interface $intname;show run 
interface $intname

The following example shows the use of the alias shint_both in EXEC mode:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(exec)# shint_both(POS1/2/3/4)

Two commands are issued, as follows:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(exec)# show interface POS1/2/3/4; show run interface POS1/2/3/4

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

Use the clear configuration commits command to delete the number of commit IDs available for rollback operations. The most recent 100 commits are retained by the system. As new commit IDs are added, the oldest commit IDs are discarded and are no longer available for rollback operations.

---

Note The clear configuration commits command deletes commits from the commit database only. The running configuration, thus, is not changed.

---

---

Note When a commit ID is deleted from the commit database, it is no longer available for rollback and can no longer be used to display commit changes (with the show configuration rollback changes command).

---

Use the rollback configuration command to roll back the current running configuration to a previous configuration. Use the show configuration rollback changes command to display a list of the commit IDs available for rollback operations or to display the changes that would be made by the rollback configuration command.

Release 3.7.0	No modification.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

An inconsistency alarm is set when there is a failure to restore the configuration; this can occur during router startup, or when a line card, modular services card (MSC), or route processor (RP) card is inserted or removed.

If an inconsistency alarm is set, a message similar to the following example is displayed:

RP/0/0/CPU0:May 26 11:58:40.662 : cfgmgr-rp[130]: %MGBL-CONFIGCLI-3 BATCH_CONFIG_FAIL : 28 
config(s) failed during startup. To view failed config(s) use the command - "show 
configuration failed startup" 

RP/0/0/CPU0:May 26 11:58:41.731 : cfgmgr-rp[130]: %MGBL-CONFIG-3-ADMIN_INCONSISTENCY_ALARM 
: Admin plane configuration inconsistency alarm has been raised. Configuration commits 
will be blocked until an ADMIN plane 'clear configuration inconsistency' command has been 
run to synchronize persisted admin plane configuration with running admin configuration.

When the inconsistency alarm is set, all configuration commit operations fail until the alarm is cleared using the clear configuration inconsistency command. This command clears the alarm and removes the failed configuration.

For example, the following configuration commit fails to finish due to an existing inconsistency alarm:

RP/0/0/CPU0:router# configure 

ADMIN plane running configuration is inconsistent with persistent configuration.

No configuration commits will be allowed until an admin plane 'clear configuration 
inconsistency' command is performed.

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# hostname router2

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)#commit

ADMIN plane running configuration is inconsistent with persistent configuration.

No configuration commits will be allowed until an admin plane 'clear configuration 
inconsistency' command is performed.

Enter the clear configuration inconsistency command to clear the alarm and allow commit operations to continue.

---

Note To reapply the failed configuration, you must reapply and recommit the configuration. Use the load configuration failed startup command to populate the target configuration with the contents of the previous failed configuration from the startup configuration.

---

Use the show configuration history alarm command to view the inconsistency alarm set and alarm clear events in the configuration history log.

SDR Usage

To clear the inconsistency alarms for the admin plane configuration, enter the clear configuration inconsistency command in administration EXEC mode.

To clear the inconsistency alarms for an SDR configuration, enter the clear configuration inconsistency command in EXEC mode for that SDR.

Task ID

Task ID	Operations
config-services	execute

Examples

The following example shows how to clear the inconsistency alarms for the admin plane configuration by entering the configuration inconsistency command in administration EXEC mode:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# admin

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin)# clear configuration inconsistency

Creating any missing directories in Configuration File system...OK

Initializing Configuration Version Manager...OK

Syncing ADMIN commit database with running configuration...OK

Re-initializing cache files...OK

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

In administration EXEC mode, the replica node for the clear configuration inconsistency replica command is the standby designated system controller (DSC). In EXEC mode, the replica nodes are the route processors (RPs) or distributed route processors (DRPs) that can become the designated secure domain router system controller (DSDRSC).

Use the clear configuration inconsistency replica command if there is a configuration inconsistency between the standby DSC and the current active DSC; or alternatively, if the configuration on any nodes that could become the DSC is not the same as the configuration on the current DSC. To determine if you have a configuration inconsistency, use the show configuration inconsistency replica command.

To clear configuration inconsistencies for the admin plane configuration, enter the clear configuration inconsistency replica command in administration EXEC mode.

To clear configuration inconsistencies for an SDR configuration, enter the clear configuration inconsistency replica command in EXEC mode for that SDR.

commit

To commit the target configuration to the active (running) configuration, use the commit command in any configuration mode.

commit [replace] [best-effort] [force] [label line] [comment line] [confirmed minutes] [save-running filename file_path]

Syntax Description

replace	(Optional) Replaces the entire running configuration with the contents of the target configuration.
best-effort	(Optional) Merges the target configuration with the running configuration and commits only valid changes (best effort). Some configuration changes might fail due to semantic errors.
force	(Optional) Forces a commit operation in low-memory conditions.
label line	(Optional) Assigns a meaningful label. This label is displayed (instead of the autogenerated commit ID) in the output for the show configuration commit list.
comment line	(Optional) Assigns a comment to a commit. This text comment is displayed in the commit entry displayed in the output for the show configuration commit list command with the optional detail keyword.
confirmed minutes	(Optional) Commits the configuration on a trial basis for a minimum of 30 seconds and a maximum of 300 seconds (5 minutes). Note The confirmed option is not available in administration configuration mode.
save-running filename file_path	(Optional) Saves the running configuration to a specified file.

Defaults

The default behavior is pseudo-atomic, meaning that all changes must succeed for the entire commit operation to succeed. If any errors are found, none of the configuration changes take effect.

Command Modes

Release 3.7.0	Support was added for the save-running filename file_path keywords and argument.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

Changes made during a configuration session are inactive until the commit command is entered. By default, the commit operation is pseudo-atomic, and not completely atomic. This means that the router attempts to apply the configuration first. If a configuration fails, the entire configuration is rolled back, meaning that any already applied configuration is also rolled back.

To replace the default numeric ID for the commit, use the optional label keyword. This label is displayed (instead of the autogenerated commit ID) in the output for the show configuration commit list command.

Enter an optional comment with the comment keyword to provide additional information about the commit action. This comment is displayed in the output for the show configuration commit list command with the detail keyword.

Use the optional confirmed minutes keyword and argument to commit a configuration on a trial basis for a minimum of 30 seconds and a maximum of 300 seconds (5 minutes). During the trial configuration period, enter commit to confirm the configuration. If commit is not entered, then the system reverts to the previous configuration when the trial time period expires. The confirmed option is not available in administration configuration mode.

You can use the commit command in conjunction with the load command. Load a new configuration with the load command, and use the commit command with the replace keyword to have the loaded configuration become the active (running) configuration.

Use the optional save-running filename file_path keywords and argument to save the running configuration to a specified file. To configure automatic saving of the configuration file on every commit, use the configuration commit auto-save command. If automatic saving of the configuration file is already enabled, specifying save-running filename file_path with the commit command has no additional effect.

---

Caution Saving the running configuration to a file is CPU intensive.

---

---

Note If you use the commit command without previously loading a target configuration, a blank configuration is committed.

---

Task ID

This command requires the task ID for the feature or configuration submode impacted by the command.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

Configuration modes are used to enter changes to a target configuration session, and commit those changes to the running configuration. A router running Cisco IOS XR software contains multiple configurations:

•The configuration for a specific secure domain router (SDR). Each SDR has its own configuration that is modified when a user logs into an SDR and enters global configuration mode. This mode is used to configure SDR-specific features such as routing protocols.

•The administration configuration for system-wide resources and settings. Some features, such as creating SDRs, can be configured only in administration configuration mode.

Global Configuration Mode

Use the configure command in EXEC mode to enter global configuration mode and create a new target configuration for an SDR. From global configuration mode, you can enter any configuration submode. Configuration changes entered in global configuration mode impact the SDR to which the user is currently logged in.

Administration Configuration Mode

Use the configure command in administration EXEC mode to enter administration configuration mode and create a new target configuration. From administration configuration mode, you can enter any administration configuration submode. Configuration changes entered in administration configuration mode can impact resources for the entire router. See the command reference documentation for a specific command to determine the impact of commands entered in administration configuration mode.

Router Prompt

After you enter the configure command, the system appends "(config)" to the router prompt, indicating that the router is in a configuration mode. For example

•The following prompt indicates that you are in global configuration mode for an SDR:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)#

•The following prompt indicates that you are in administration configuration mode:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin-config)#

Locking a Configuration Session

To lock the configuration so that no other user can commit changes to the running configuration during your configuration session, issue the configure command with the exclusive keyword.

Committing Changes and Returning to EXEC or Administration EXEC Mode

Changes to the target configuration remain inactive until the commit command is entered. To leave global configuration or administration configuration mode and return to the EXEC or administration EXEC prompt, issue the end or exit command; you are prompted to commit any uncommitted changes.

To leave configuration mode and return directly to EXEC or administration EXEC mode without being prompted to commit changes and without saving changes to the target configuration, enter the abort command in any configuration mode.

Examples

The following example shows how to enter global configuration mode from EXEC mode and then enter interface configuration submode to configure an IPv4 address for Packet-over-SONET/SDH (POS) interface 0/1/0/0. In the example, the commit command commits the configuration, and the end command terminates the configuration session and return the router to EXEC mode.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface pos 0/1/0/0

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# ipv4 address 1.1.1.1 255.0.0.0

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# commit

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# end

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# 

The following example shows how to enter administration configuration mode and then configure an SDR. In this example, the user also enters SDR configuration submode. This example is for a Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.

RP/0/0/CPU0:router# admin 

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(admin)# configure

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(admin-config)# sdr rname

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(admin-config-sdr:rname)# location 0/0/*

Examples

The following example shows how to return the router to the next higher command mode. In this example, the exit command exits from interface configuration mode and returns to global configuration mode. The exit command is entered a second time to exit from global configuration mode and return to EXEC mode. Because the configuration has not been committed explicitly (with the commit command), the system prompts to commit the configuration changes made during the session.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface pos 0/2/0/0

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# ipv4 address 1.1.1.1 255.0.0.0

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# exit

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# exit

Uncommitted changes found, commit them before exiting(yes/no/cancel)?[cancel]: yes

The following example shows how to use the exit command from EXEC mode to log off from a terminal session:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# exit

router con0_RP1_CPU0 is now available

Press RETURN to get started.

The following example shows how to display the manual page for the arp timeout command:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# man command arp timeout

COMMAND

arp timeout

DESCRIPTION

To specify how long dynamic entries learned on an interface remain in the

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache, use the arp timeout command in

interface configuration mode. To remove the arp timeout command from the

configuration file and restore the system to its default condition with

respect to this command, use the no form of this command.

arp timeout seconds

no arp timeout<seconds>

SYNTAX DESCRIPTION

seconds

Time, in seconds, for which an entry remains in the ARP cache. The

range is from 0 to 4294967. A value of 0 means that entries are never

cleared from the cache. The default is 14400.

DEFAULTS

Entries remain in the ARP cache for 14400 seconds (4 hours).

COMMAND MODES

Interface configuration

COMMAND HISTORY

Release

Modification

Release 2.0

This command was introduced.

USAGE GUIDELINES

To use the arp timeout command, you must be a member of a user group

associated with the cef task ID.

For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, refer to the

Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS-XR Software module of the Cisco IOS-XR

System Security Configuration Guide.

This command is ignored when issued on interfaces that do not use ARP. Also,

ARP entries that correspond to the local interface or that are statically

configured by the user never time out.

The show interfaces command displays the ARP timeout value in

hours:minutes:seconds, as follows:

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * START OF LISTING * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

ARP type: ARPA, ARP Timeout 04:00:00

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * END OF LISTING * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

EXAMPLES

The following example shows how to set the ARP timeout to 3600 seconds to

allow entries to time out more quickly than the default:

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * START OF LISTING * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface MgmtEth 0/RP1/CPU0/0

Adding a Filter at the --More-- Prompt

You can also specify a filter at the --More-- prompt of a more command output. To filter output from the --More-- prompt, enter a forward slash (/) followed by a regular expression. The filter remains active until the command output finishes or is interrupted (using Ctrl-Z or Ctrl-C).

•A second filter cannot be specified at a --More-- prompt if a filter has already been specified at the original command or at a previous --More-- prompt.

•The minus sign (-) preceding a regular expression displays output lines that do not contain the regular expression.

•The plus sign (+) preceding a regular expression displays output lines that contain the regular expression.

---

Note After you specify a filter for a more command, you cannot specify another filter at the next --More-- prompt. The first specified filter remains until the more command output finishes or until you interrupt the output. The use of the begin keyword does not constitute a filter.

Each time the commit command is entered, a commit ID is assigned to the new configuration. You can revert the system to the configuration of a previous commit ID with the rollback configuration command:

•Use the to keyword to revert to the configuration that existed before the configuration specified with the commit-id argument.

•Use the last keyword to revert to the configuration that existed before the last number of configuration commits (specified with the number-of-commits argument) were made.

•Use show configuration commit list to display a list of the commit IDs available for rollback operations.

---

Note The most recent 100 commits are retained by the system. As new commit IDs are added, the oldest commit IDs are discarded and are no longer available for rollback operations.

---

Use the force keyword to override commits that would fail otherwise. This is useful in the event of a low-memory condition on the router, to revert to a commit that would remove a configuration that caused the low-memory condition.

In the following example, the default VRF is set to "dft_vrf":

RP/0/0/CPU0:router# set default-vrf dft_vrf 

%% Default Virtual Routing/Forwarding is set to 'dft_vrf'

In the following command, the show route command is entered without specifying a VRF name. Because the default VRF was set to "dft_vrf", the results for that VRF are displayed.

RP/0/0/CPU0:router# show route ipv4

% No matching vrf found

When the default VRF for the session is set to none, the system default VRF routes are displayed. In the following example, the default VRF is set to none (empty), and the show route command displays the system default VRF information:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# set default-vrf none

%% Default Virtual Routing/Forwarding is set to ''

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

The show commands display information about the system and its configuration. To display a list of the available show commands, use the question mark (?) online help function.

Filtering Output

Table 19 shows the search options for the show command.

Table 19 Show Command Search Options

Command	Purpose
show command | begin regular-expression	Begins unfiltered output of the show command with the first line that contains the regular expression.
show command | exclude regular-expression	Displays output lines that do not contain the regular expression.
show command | include regular-expression	Displays output lines that contain the regular expression.
show command | file filesystem:	Writes the output lines that contain the regular expression to the specified file on the specified file system.

Adding a Filter at the --More-- Prompt

You can also specify a filter at the --More-- prompt of a show command output. To filter output from the --More-- prompt, enter a forward slash (/) followed by a regular expression. The filter remains active until the command output finishes or is interrupted (using Ctrl-Z or Ctrl-C).

•If a filter is specified at the original command or a previous --More-- prompt, a second filter cannot be applied.

•The use of the keyword begin does not constitute a filter.

•The minus sign (-) preceding a regular expression displays output lines that do not contain the regular expression.

•The plus sign (+) preceding a regular expression displays output lines that contain the regular expression.

Task ID

This command requires the task ID for the feature used with the show command. For example, the command show interfaces requires read privileges in the interface task ID.

Examples

The following example shows output from the show interface | include protocol command. In this example, the show interface command includes only lines in which the regular expression "protocol" appears:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show interface | include protocol

Null0 is up, line protocol is up

0 drops for unrecognized upper-level protocol

POS0/2/0/0 is administratively down, line protocol is administratively down

0 drops for unrecognized upper-level protocol

POS0/2/0/1 is administratively down, line protocol is administratively down

0 drops for unrecognized upper-level protocol

POS0/2/0/2 is administratively down, line protocol is administratively down

0 drops for unrecognized upper-level protocol

POS0/2/0/3 is administratively down, line protocol is administratively down

0 drops for unrecognized upper-level protocol

FastEthernet0/RP0/CPU0/0 is administratively down, line protocol is administratively

down

FastEthernet0/RP0/CPU0/0 is administratively down, line protocol is administratively

down

0 drops for unrecognized upper-level protocol

On most systems, the Ctrl-Z key combination can be entered at any time to interrupt the output and return to EXEC mode. For example, issue the show running-config | begin hostname command to start the display of the running configuration file at the line containing the hostname setting, then use Ctrl-Z when you get to the end of the information you are interested in.

The following is sample output from the show configuration running | begin line command. The output begins with unfiltered output from the first line that contains the regular expression "line." In this example, at the --More-- prompt, a new search is specified that begins with output lines that contain the regular expression "ipv4."

In administration EXEC mode, the replica node for the show configuration inconsistency replica command is the standby designated system controller (DSC). In EXEC mode, the replica nodes are the route processors (RPs) or distributed route processors (DRPs) that can become the designated secure domain router system controller (DSDRSC).

Use the show configuration inconsistency replica command, before performing a manual failover or DSC migration, to verify that the node in line to take over for the DSC or DSDRSC is in good shape. If any problems are reported, use the clear configuration inconsistency replica command to correct them.
