3.2 Saving, Applying, or Canceling Configuration Changes

When you make configuration changes on a page accessed from Devices > Access Gateways > Edit and click OK on that page, the changes are saved to the browser cache. If your session expires or you close the browser session before you update the Access Gateway with the changes, the changes are lost.

The Configuration page allows you to control how your changes are saved so they can be applied with the update options (see Section 3.3.2, Configuration Options).

If you have any configuration changes saved to the browser cache, use the following options to control what happens to the changes:

OK: To save the configuration changes to the configuration store, click OK. This allows you to return at a later time to review or modify the changes before they are applied. If your Access Gateways are clustered and you prefer to update them one at a time, you need to save the configuration change. This ensures that the changes aren’t lost before the last cluster member is updated. When your session times out or you log out, the configuration changes are flushed from the browser cache. If this happens before the changes have been applied to some servers in the cluster, the changes cannot be applied to those servers.

If you decide to cancel the saved changes, click the Revert button and the saved configuration is overwritten by the last successfully applied configuration.

Cancel: To cancel changes that are pending in the browser cache, click the Cancel button. To cancel modifications to specific services, click the Cancel link by the service. The Cancel button does not affect the changes that have been saved to the configuration store.

Revert: To cancel any saved changes, click Revert, then confirm the cancellation. The saved configuration is overwritten by the last successfully applied configuration.

If you have applied the changes to one member of the cluster, you cannot use the Revert button to revert to the configuration you had before applying the changes. If you decide you do not want to apply these changes to other members of the cluster, remove the server that you updated with the changes from the cluster. Then click Revert to cancel the saved changes. The members of the cluster return to the last successfully applied configuration. To apply this configuration to the removed server, add this server to the cluster.

The Revert button and the Cancel button cannot cancel the following configuration changes:
