Configuring the Router from the CLI

Problem

You need to modify the router's configuration using the JUNOS CLI.

Solution

You need to be in configuration mode to configure the router:

	aviva@router1> configure
	Entering configuration mode
	[edit]
	aviva@router1#

 

Discussion

When you want to modify the router's configuration, log in to the router, enter configuration mode as shown in this example, and then create a hierarchy of configuration statements that define the desired router operation. There are other ways to configure the router, which are discussed later in the chapter, including loading a configuration file from a remote server or from the local router and loading a previous router configuration.

When you want the configuration to take effect, you must activate, or commit, it.
