Applying Configuration Changes

HPE Aruba Networking Central supports a two-staged configuration commit workflow for Instant APs and switches. HPE Aruba Networking Central now supports the auto commit feature at a group level. When auto commit state is enabled for a group, the configuration changes are instantly applied to all devices where auto commit state is enabled.

In the Configuration Audit page of the group, the Auto Commit State section allows administrators to switch their preference for committing configuration changes to the devices within the group.

  • To enable auto commit, click Change to Auto commit state ON. When auto commit state is enabled for a group, the configuration changes are instantly applied to all devices where auto commit state is enabled.
  • To disable auto commit, click Change to Auto commit state OFF. When auto commit state is disabled for a group, an administrator can build a candidate configuration, save it on cloud, review it, and then commit the configuration changes to all devices within the group.

HPE Aruba Networking Central resets the auto commit state, when a device moves to another group. The device inherits the auto commit state of the group to which the device is moved.
When auto commit state is disabled for a group, HPE Aruba Networking Central restricts modification to the auto commit state at a device level. When auto commit state is enabled for a group, HPE Aruba Networking Central allows modification to the auto commit state at a device level.
The auto commit at a group level is not applicable for HPE Aruba Networking gateways in the Configuration Audit page. Auto commit state is always enabled for HPE Aruba Networking gateways.
