Objective


The objective of this article is to show how to undo (revert) the configuration changes prior using commit operation. 
Reverting changes is useful when you want to undo changes to multiple settings as a single operation instead of manually re-configuring each setting.


Environment


  • Any PAN-OS
  • Any Palo Alto Firewall


Procedure


The Running configuration on the firewall has all settings that has been committed and is currently active.
The Candidate configuration is a copy of the running configuration and any changes done after the last commit. These changes are not yet active and will be activated after the commit operation.

If the configuration changes done are not required and need to be undone prior using commit operation, you can use one of the methods below.

Method 1

GUI : Config > Revert Changes.

User-added image

Method 2

GUI: Device > Setup > Operations > Revert > Revert to running configuration.

User-added image

Once the operation is completed, the changes to the candidate configuration are undone and both the running-configuration and the candidate-configuration will be identical.

 


Additional Information


Refer article  Backing up and Restoring configurations or documentation Manage Configuration Backups for a more detailed information and other ways of managing configurations.
