In general, techniques are described for a batch configuration mode for configuring network devices. A network device comprising a committed data source and a control unit may implement the techniques. The control unit may receive a plurality of separate commit commands instructing the network device to commit configuration changes to the committed data source. Each of the plurality of commit commands instructs the network device to commit an associated portion of the configuration changes to the committed data source. The control unit then groups two or more of the plurality of separate commit commands to form a batch of commit commands and executes the batch of commit commands to commit the portions of the configuration changes associated with the grouped commit commands to the committed data source as if the grouped portions of the configuration changes were associated with a single commit command.
