Edit Configuration (J-Web Configuration Editor)
To access Edit Configuration, also called the J-Web configuration
editor, select Configuration>View and Edit>Edit Configuration. This page allows you to configure all routing platform services
that you can configure from the JUNOS CLI. Each field in the J-Web
configuration editor has the same name as the corresponding configuration
statement at the same hierarchy level in the CLI. For example, the
Policy Options field corresponds to the policy-options statement
in the CLI. As a result, you can easily switch from one interface
to the other or follow a CLI configuration example using the J-Web
configuration editor.
Table 126 lists key
J-Web configuration editor tasks and their functions.

Editing a Configuration
To edit the configuration on a series of pages of clickable
options that step you through the hierarchy, select Configuration>View and Edit>Edit Configuration. The side pane displays the top level of the configuration hierarchy,
and the main pane displays configured hierarchy options and the Icon Legend
(see Figure 80).
Figure 80: Edit Configuration Page
To expand or hide the hierarchy of all the statements in the side pane, click Expand all or Hide all. To expand or hide an individual statement in the hierarchy, click the expand (+) or collapse (–) icon to the left of the statement.
 |
Note:
Only those statements included in the committed configuration are displayed in the hierarchy.
|
The configuration information in the main pane consists of configuration options that correspond to configuration statements. Configuration options that contain subordinate statements are identified by the term Nested configuration.
To include, edit, or delete statements in the candidate configuration,
click one of the links described in Table 127 in the main
pane. Then specify configuration information by typing into a field,
selecting a value from a list, or clicking a check box (toggle).
Table 127: J-Web Edit
Configuration Links

Link
|
Function
|
|
Add new entry

Displays fields and lists for a statement identifier, allowing
you to add a new identifier to a statement.
|
|
Configure

Displays information for a configuration option that has not
been configured, allowing you to include a statement.
|
|
Delete
|
Deletes the corresponding statement or identifier from the configuration.
All subordinate statements and identifiers contained within a deleted
statement are also discarded.
|
|
Edit
|
Displays information for a configuration option that has already
been configured, allowing you to edit a statement.
|
|
identifier
|
Displays fields and lists for an existing statement identifier,
allowing you to edit the identifier.
|
As you navigate through the configuration, the hierarchy level
is displayed at the upper right of the main pane. You can click a
statement or identifier in the hierarchy to return to the corresponding
configuration options in the main pane.
The main pane includes icons that display information about statements and identifiers when you place your cursor over them. Table 128 describes the meaning of these icons.

Note:
You can annotate statements with comments or make them inactive
only through the CLI. For more information, see the JUNOS CLI User Guide.
|
After typing or selecting your configuration edits, click a
button in the main pane (described in Table 129) to apply your changes
or cancel them, refresh the display, or discard parts of the candidate
configuration. An updated configuration does not take effect until
you commit it.
Table 129: J-Web Edit Configuration Buttons
|
Button
|
Function
|
|
OK
|
Applies edits to the candidate configuration, and returns you
to the previous level in the configuration hierarchy.
|
|
Cancel
|
Clears the entries you have not yet applied to the candidate
configuration, and returns you to the previous level in the configuration
hierarchy.
|
|
Refresh
|
Updates the display with any changes to the configuration made
by other users.
|
|
Commit
|
Verifies edits and applies them to the current configuration
file running on the Services Router. For details, see Committing
a Configuration.
|
|
Discard
|
Removes edits applied to, or deletes existing statements or
identifiers from, the candidate configuration. For details, see Discarding
Parts of a Candidate Configuration.
|
Discarding
Parts of a Candidate Configuration
Before committing a candidate configuration, you can discard
changes you applied or delete existing statements or identifiers.
To discard parts of a candidate configuration:
- Navigate to the level of the hierarchy you
want to edit, and click Discard.
The main pane displays a list of target statements based on
the hierarchy level and the changes you have made.
- Select an option button (also known as a radio
button) to specify the appropriate discard operation or deletion.
(Not all buttons appear in all situations.)
-
Discard Changes Below This Point—Discards
changes made to the candidate configuration at the displayed hierarchy
level and below. All subordinate statements and identifiers contained
within a discarded statement are also discarded.
-
Discard All Changes—Discards
all changes made to the candidate configuration.
-
Delete Configuration Below This Point—Deletes all changes and statements in the candidate configuration
at the displayed hierarchy level and below. All subordinate statements
and identifiers contained within a deleted statement are also deleted.
- To confirm the discard operation or deletion,
click OK.
To cancel a discard operation or deletion, click Cancel.
The updated candidate configuration does not take effect on
the Services Router until you commit it.
Committing
a Configuration
When you finish making changes to a candidate configuration
with the J-Web configuration editor, you must commit the changes
to use them in the current operational software running on the Services Router.
If another user is editing an exclusive candidate configuration
with the CLI, you cannot commit a configuration until the user has
committed the configuration. To display a list of users, see Displaying Users Editing the Configuration. For more information about
editing an exclusive candidate configuration, see the JUNOS CLI User Guide.
To commit a candidate configuration:
- In the J-Web configuration editor,
click Commit.
The main pane displays a summary of your changes in statement
form.
- To confirm the commit operation, click OK.
To cancel a commit operation, click Cancel.
If multiple users are editing the configuration when you commit
the candidate configuration, all changes made by all users take effect.
- To display all the edits applied to the running
configuration, click Refresh.
Sample Task—Configuring Accounting
Options
Figure 81 shows the Accounting
options configuration page. This page displays the different settings
that you can configure at the accounting options hierarchy level.
Because each field in the J-Web configuration editor has the same
name as the corresponding configuration statement at the same hierarchy
level in the CLI, the options on this page match the options displayed
when you enter edit accounting options in the CLI:
user@router# edit accounting-options
?
Possible completions:
<[Enter]> Execute this command
> class-usage-profile Class usage profile for accounting data
> file Accounting data file configuration
> filter-profile Filter profile for accounting data
> interface-profile Interface profile for accounting data
> mib-profile MIB profile for accounting data
> routing-engine-profile Routing Engine profile for accounting data
| Pipe through a command
[edit]
On the Accounting options page, click any option to view and
configure related options.
