Note: Configuration roll-back issues

Some configuration changes can lead to loss of control or access to the system. The system automatically detects some of these situations and rolls-back the configuration to the previous state. One of situations that can trigger the roll-back is by adding or removing the station mode when connected over Wi-Fi link. During this process, the client loses connection, and validation logic fails. To bypass this check, use APPLY UNCHECKED instead of SAVE & APPLY option.
