Load sys config command in CLI

Hi all,   Hope you are doing great.   What will be the impact, if I run command "tmsh load sys config" instead tmsh load sys config verify.   Regards, RAQS

    tmsh load sys config will verify and load the config. It will change the running config.

    tmsh load sys config verify will only verify the config. It will not change the running config.

Hi RAQS,

 

verify is like a dry run. It will not do anything expect of verifying syntax.

However a tmsh load sys config will also verify the config you are importing.

Depending on what you plan to do, pay attention to use the merge parameter. Otherwise you might overwrite stuff that you will desperately miss afterwards.
