Load Results for Cisco Host Configurations
If your Cisco router configuration includes a host configuration, you will see
the host configuration load results in the ECM Load Detail window and in the
printout. This includes the name <Host Configuration> in the Attribute
field and the status (Success, Failure, or other error messages) in the Load
Status field. See the sample printout in Figure 5-14 on Page 5-34.
How ECM Loads Cisco Host Configurations
The following scenarios show you how ECM proceeds with a load when the
configuration includes both attributes and a host configuration.
Remember: ECM always loads the attributes first and then the Cisco host
configuration commands.
With Safe Load OFF:
• ECM loads both the attributes and host configuration commands even if
some attributes cannot be loaded to the device.
In the Load Detail window the load status for the host configuration
commands can be either Success or Failure.
With Safe Load ON:
• If ECM fails to load one of the attributes in the configuration, it rolls back
the attributes and does not attempt to load the host configuration
commands.
In the Load Result window, the device will have a load result of “Rolled
Back.” In the Load Detail window, the load status for the host
configuration will be “Load not attempted.”
• If ECM successfully loads all attributes but fails to load the host
configuration commands, ECM does not roll back the attributes.
In the Load Result window, the device will have a load result of “Partially
Loaded.” This is one case when Safe Load allows a partial load.
In the Load Detail window, the load status for the host configuration will
indicate the reason why it could not be loaded.
