What Happens on the Router During a Restore Operation

The following steps describe what happens on the router when the JUNOScope software performs a restore and archive:

1. The user selects the configuration revision to restore.
2. JUNOScope connects to the JUNOScript server on the target router.
3. JUNOScope sends the following commands to the JUNOScript server to be performed on the router:
   1. Lock the router configuration.
   2. Load the new configuration on the router, overriding (discarding), replacing (deleting and adding), or merging (combining) the old configuration.
   3. Issue a commit confirmed command.
   4. Issue a commit-configuration JUNOScript XML tag command. If the user specified it, JUNOScope issues a commit synchronize command.
   5. Unlock the configuration.

      Note: If an error occurs, JUNOScope issues a rollback command, causing the configuration to revert to the last saved configuration.

4. JUNOScope updates the final status values for the restore operation.
