Use configure exclusive to exclude other users from editing the configuration.Any uncommitted changes are discarded when the user exits. In contrast, uncommitted changes are retained when you use standard configure command.
Use configure private to allow multiple users to edit the configuration while committing only their private changes. If a private users issue a rollback 0 command, the software discards only their changes.
Moving between levels is like changing directories. Use up, up 2, top, exit commands.
Viewing differences
Using show | compare displays differences between the candidate config and active configuration also known as rollback 0.
Remember- the rollback command modifies only the candidate configuration. To activate the changes loaded through the rollback operation, issue the commit command.
