Table 68 on page 382 lists the various configuration file terms used for EX Series switches
and their definitions.
Definition
The current committed configuration of a switch.
A working copy of the configuration that allows users to make configurational changes
without causing any operational changes until this copy is committed.
Group of configuration statements that can be inherited by the rest of the configuration.
Have the candidate configuration checked for proper syntax, activated, and marked as
the current configuration file running on the switching platform.
The Junos OS configuration consists of a hierarchy of statements. There are two types of
statements: container statements, which contain other statements, and leaf statements,
which do not contain other statements. All the container and leaf statements together
form the configuration hierarchy.
The default configuration contains the initial values set for each configuration parameter
when a switch is shipped.
Well-known configuration that recovers a switch from a configuration that denies
management access. You set a current committed configuration to be the rescue
configuration through the J-Web interface or CLI.
