Using Rescue

If someone inadvertently commits a configuration that denies management access to a device, you can delete the invalid configuration and replace it with a rescue configuration. You must have previously set the rescue configuration through the J-Web interface or the CLI. The rescue configuration is a previously committed, valid configuration.

To view, set, or delete the rescue configuration, select Maintain>Config Management>Rescue. You can perform the following tasks:

• View the current rescue configuration (if one exists)—Click View rescue configuration.
• Set the current running configuration as the rescue configuration—Click Set rescue configuration. On a J-series routing platform, you can also press the CONFIG or RESET CONFIG button.
• Delete the current rescue configuration—Click Delete rescue configuration.
