What is Auto Config Recovery (ACR)?

Auto Config Recovery is a mechanism that detects if a switch goes offline for a certain period after configuration changes are made via the cloud. It assumes that the settings might cause the device to go offline. To prevent further potential issues, the system temporarily locks the device to stop further configuration changes.

When should you unlock the Auto Config Recovery?

If the device goes offline after setting changes and appears due to unrelated reasons (e.g., network instability), you can try to unlock the ACR. This might restore its normal operation. If unlocked and the device functions properly, keep monitoring it to ensure stability.

How to disable Auto Config Recovery?

1. Log in to your device’s cloud configuration platform.
2. Navigate to the ACR settings under the system or security section.
3. Disable ACR if you find it unnecessary. Please note that the default setting for ACR is turned off.

Feel free to enable or disable ACR based on your operational preferences to avoid inconvenience.
