apply-macro
Syntax
apply-macro apply-macro-name {
parameter-name parameter-value;
}
Hierarchy Level
All hierarchy levels
Description
Use custom syntax in your configuration, which is expanded into standard Junos OS configuration statements during the commit process using the instructions defined in the corresponding commit script macro.
Macros work by locating apply-macro statements that
you include in the candidate configuration and using the values specified in the apply-macro statement
as parameters to a set of instructions (the macro) defined in a commit
script. The commit script alters your configuration from one that
contains custom syntax into a full configuration containing standard
Junos OS statements.
In effect, your custom configuration syntax serves a dual purpose. The syntax allows you to simplify your configuration tasks, and it provides data (or hooks) that are used by commit script macros.
You can include the apply-macro statement at any
level of the configuration hierarchy. You can include multiple apply-macro statements at each level of the configuration hierarchy;
however, each must have a unique name.

| parameter-name | One or more parameters. Parameters can be any text you want to include in your configuration. |
