Displaying Configuration History

When you commit a configuration, the routing platform saves the current operational version and the previous 49 versions of committed configurations. To manage these configuration files with the J-Web interface, select Configuration>History. The main pane displays Database Information and Configuration History (see Figure 22).

Table 32 summarizes the contents of the display.

The configuration history display allows you to perform the following operations:

View a configuration.
Compare two configurations.
Download a configuration file to your local system.
Roll back the configuration to any of the previous versions stored on the routing platform.
