Configuration Version Management: Apply¶

Overview¶

The configuration version management feature allows users to manage and restore different configuration states of the system.

Apply Operation¶

Definition¶

The Apply operation copies the content of a specified historical version and sets it as the currently active configuration.

Characteristics¶

• Purpose: Re-apply a previous configuration version as the current working configuration
• Version History: Does not alter the existing configuration version history structure
• Semantics: More like “use this configuration,” emphasizing content reuse
• Audit: Logged as “Apply Configuration” in the operation log

Use Cases¶

• When you want to reuse the content of a specific previous configuration
• When you need to temporarily switch to a historical configuration for testing
• When you have confirmed that a historical configuration is optimal and should become the current one

Best Practices¶

When to Use Apply¶

1. When you want to test the effect of a historical configuration
