Revert Changes
Select ConfigRevert Changes at the top right
of the firewall or Panorama web interface to undo changes made to
the candidate configuration since the last commit. Reverting changes
restores the settings to the values of the running configuration.
You can filter which configuration changes to revert based on administrator
or location. The location can be specific virtual systems,
shared policies and objects, or shared device and network settings.
You cannot revert changes until the firewall or Panorama finishes
processing all commits that are pending or in progress. After you
initiate the revert process, the firewall or Panorama automatically
locks the candidate and running configurations so that other administrators cannot
edit settings or commit changes. After completing the revert process,
the firewall or Panorama automatically removes the lock.
The Revert Changes dialog displays the options described in the
following table:
Field/Button | Description |
|---|---|
Revert All Changes | Reverts all changes for which you have administrative privileges
(default). You cannot manually filter the scope of the configuration
changes that the firewall reverts when you select this option. Instead,
the administrator role assigned to the account you used to log in
determines the revert scope:
In
Admin Role profiles, the privileges for committing also apply to
reverting. If you implemented access domains, the firewall automatically
applies those domains to filter the revert scope (see Device
> Access Domain). Regardless of your administrative role,
the firewall reverts only the configuration changes in the access
domains assigned to your account. |
Revert Changes Made
By | Filters the scope of configuration changes
that the firewall reverts. The administrative role assigned to the account
you used to log in determines your filtering options:
Filter
the revert scope as follows:
If you have implemented access
domains, the firewall automatically filters the revert scope based
on those domains (see Device
> Access Domain). Regardless of your administrative role
and your filtering choices, the revert scope includes only the configuration
changes in the access domains assigned to your account. |
Revert Scope | Lists the locations that have changes to
revert. Whether the list includes all changes or a subset of the changes
depends on several factors, as described for the Revert
All Changes and Revert
Changes Made By options. The locations can be any of the
following:
|
Location Type | This column categorizes the locations where
the changes were made:
|
Include in Revert (Partial revert only) | Enables you to select the changes you want
to revert. By default, all changes within the Revert Scope are
selected. This column displays only after you choose to Revert
Changes Made By specific administrators. There
might be dependencies that affect the changes you include in a revert.
For example, if you add an object and another administrator then
edits that object, you cannot revert your change without also reverting
the change for the other administrator. |
Group by Location Type | Lists the configuration changes in the Revert
Scope by Location Type. |
Preview Changes | Enables you to compare the configurations
you selected in the Revert Scope to the running
configuration. The preview window uses color coding to indicate
which changes are additions (green), modifications (yellow), or
deletions (red). To help you match the changes to sections
of the web interface, you can configure the preview window to display Lines
of Context before and after each change. These lines
are from the files of the candidate and running configurations that
you are comparing. Because the preview results display in
a new window, your browser must allow pop-up windows. If the preview
window does not open, refer to your browser documentation for the
steps to unblock pop-up windows. |
Change Summary | Lists the individual settings for which
you are reverting changes. The Change Summary list
displays the following information for each setting:
Optionally,
you can Group By column name (such as Type). |
Revert | Reverts the selected changes. |
