Had this tip passed on to me by an Axia representative when we were provisioning a bunch of changes to our network. if you're making switch configuration changes remotely (something I often have to do because of how remote our sites are) a good idea is to schedule a reboot of the switch in the near future, then make your configuration changes. Then if everything looks good, write your config and cancel the reload. That way if things go bad and you loose connectivity, the switch will reboot with it's old (working) configuration!
For Procurve switches, this might look something like:
reload after 35 (to schedule a reboot in 35 minutes)
and if you want to cancel the reload:
no reload
