Configuration Tools Terms

Before using the Services Router configuration tools, become familiar with the terms defined in Table 6.

Table 6: Configuration Tools Terms

candidate configuration

A working copy of the configuration that can be edited without affecting the Services Router until it is committed.

configuration group

Group of configuration statements that can be inherited by the rest of the configuration.

commit a configuration

Have the candidate configuration checked for proper syntax, activated, and marked as the current configuration file running on the Services Router.

configuration hierarchy

The JUNOS software configuration consists of a hierarchy of statements. There are two types of statements: container statements, which contain other statements, and leaf statements, which do not contain other statements. All the container and leaf statements together form the configuration hierarchy.

rescue configuration

Configuration that recovers a Services Router from a configuration that denies management access. You set a current committed configuration through the J-Web interface or CLI for emergency use. To load and commit the rescue configuration, you press and release the CONFIG button.

roll back a configuration

Return to a previously committed configuration.
