a first level, within the top level, associated with a system configuration,
a second level, within the top level, associated with an interface configuration, and
a third level, within the top level, associated with a firewall policy;
obtaining, by the network device, an indication to perform a rollback for a target subset of the plurality of subsets of the configuration,
