Yeah, Cisco gear is bonkers.

Mikrotik has "Safe Mode", which undoes all commands since you entered "Safe Mode" if the connection that created the shell gets interrupted. It has saved my bacon on several occasions, but there are several obvious situations in which you can get yourself locked out.

Juniper gear has "commit confirmed $NUMBER_OF_MINUTES", which will roll back everything since your last commit if you don't do a "commit" within $NUMBER_OF_MINUTES. It will also, apply all of the changes you've staged all at once (and do configuration sanity checking before it performs the commit).

I do have no idea how Juniper's rollback works when multiple users are doing simultaneous config editing... maybe don't do that?

You get a warning

    Users currently editing the configuration:
      bob termainal p0...."

But the failure here is actually sshing to a network switch in the first place.

Some cisco kit has restconf which is better for automation, but it's buggy.
