I should correct myself here... to say "none" is only half the picture.

Enterasys EOS and Riverstone OS (i.e., in the SSR8000/RS8000 type of
product) provide a "scratchpad" concept, where you make changes to the
config, which go into the scratchpad (the scratchpad is shared between
all users currently logged in, incidentally).  You can then "show
scratchpad", and "save active" to apply the scratchpad changes, and
"save startup" does what it sounds like.

The problem is that there's no real rollback facility once you have
shot yourself in the foot, so for our purpose the effective result is
"none".
