Safe Mode

[adairw]

Has there been any thought or talk about a safe mode like option similar to what mikrotik has?

I love the "test" button on Ubiquiti and Safe Mode on Mikrotik has saved me more than once. :)

Yes Eric (The coder) suggested this last year we just have not implemented it at this time. I will say something to Eric.

The idea is you hit save/apply and the UI will will ask when it comes back to hit OK, if you do not it reverts.

Is this what you want?

[adairw]

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. It just need to have a time out value also.
So if you don't get back in and hit OK within a few minutes it reverts back to the previous settings

I will see if Eric wants to put that in v1.3.0

v1.3.0 will have to be finalized in the next couple weeks for the DC switches.

I 2nd this as well. Test is always nice when you are not sirhc and know what you are doing.

Also, what about a "discard" changes option? Sometimes I have made many changes, and going back and forth to other screens for reference, I forget what I have changed, or I think I may have made a mistake and want to discard changes and start over to be sure. I just end up logging out then logging back in again., bit discard would be nice.

Test - Save/Apply - Discard

You can already Discard all changes, make all the changes you want then as long as you did not hit Save/Apply all you have to do it click the refresh button on your browser and it will reload the running config from the switch and discard your changes.

Yes I know I can discard, I said that above. I was recommending a discard button.

Just my recommendation that is all.

I'd like to see a test option implemented as well. Some of these sites are quite a haul and getting further by the week. With that said, Doing it similar to UBNT / Tik / and or commit-confirm / reload in x.

I would much rather see a quick reboot / reset to previous config than to have to drive and fix.
Thanks.

Eric had originally suggested putting that feature in way back last year. I think I axed temporarily and never requested he put it in.

I just sent him a skype with this thread suggesting it be put back on the firmware road map.

We've recently had a case where we got locked out because of a config mistake. Needed someone on-site to reset the switch in the end.

+1 for a commit confirm/ Test/ Safe mode capability.

Although you can be 300% sure your config is good after checking 1,2,3,4 times, everyone makes mistakes!
