Config Commands

nv config apply

Applies the current pending configuration. This command does not save the configuration; the configuration does not persist after a reboot. To save the startup configuration automatically when you run nv config apply without having to run the nv config save command, run the nv set system config auto-save enable on command, described in the System Configuration section of the Set and Unset commands.

You can specify the following options with the nv config apply command:

--y or --assume-yes automatically replies yes to all prompts.
--assume-no automatically replies no to all prompts.
--confirm applies the configuration change but you must confirm the applied configuration. If you do not confirm within ten minutes, the configuration rolls back automatically. You can change the default time with the apply --confirm <time> command. For example, nv config apply --confirm 60 requires you to confirm within one hour.
--confirm-status shows the amount of time left before the automatic rollback.
