Understanding Configuration Files for EX Series Switches
A configuration file stores the complete configuration of a switch. The current
configuration of a switch is called the active configuration. You can alter this current
configuration and you can also return to a previous configuration or to a rescue
configuration. For more information, see “Configuration Files Terms” on page 398.
Juniper Networks Junos operating system (Junos OS) saves the 50 most recently
committed configuration files on the switch so that you can return to a previous
configuration. The configuration files are named:
•
juniper.conf.gz
—The current active configuration.
•
juniper.conf.1.gz
to
juniper.conf.49.gz
—Rollback configurations.
To make changes to the configuration file, you have to work in the configuration mode
in the CLI or use the configuration tools in the J-Web interface. When making changes
to a configuration file, you are viewing and changing the candidate configuration file. The
candidate configuration allows you to make configuration changes without causing
operational changes to the active configuration or causing potential damage to your
current network operations. Once you commit the changes made to the candidate
configuration, the system updates the active configuration.
