Use the commands described in this section to monitor the current (running) configuration
of the system.
You can use the show configuration command to display information when the router
is in Automatic Commit mode. In Automatic Commit mode, the system automatically
saves any change to the system configuration to nonvolatile storage (NVS).
You can use the show running-configuration command to display information when the
router is in Manual Commit mode. In Manual Commit mode, any configuration change
affects only the current (running) system configuration.
For more information about saving the current configuration in Automatic Commit mode
or Manual Commit mode, see "Saving the Current Configuration" on page 264.
The JunosE show configuration command displays the entire system configuration. For
very large configurations, the show configuration report can take a long time to generate
and display.
The service show-config format command enables you to run the show configuration
command using one of two formats—original format (format 1; the default) and a format
that provides a much faster output (format 2). Using format 2 can significantly reduce
the amount of time it takes to generate and display configurations that contain three or
more virtual routers and a large number of interfaces.
The primary difference between format 1 and format 2 output is the way in which each
displays layer 2 and layer 3 interface configurations. Table 31 on page 249 indicates where
layer 2 and layer 3 interface configurations appear within the show configuration
command output when the system is using format 1 or format 2.
