Junos OS

Hi Group,

On one of our M120 router in version 8.4R3.3 I see a strange behavior.

When I load a new configuration, with the command "load override terminal", the router give me an error even if there is no problem in my configuration. If I test to load my configuration on an other router (the same model) it works. This is what I see:

toto@MY_ROUTER# load override terminal
...
load complete

[edit]
toto@MY_ROUTER# commit check
/var/run/db/private/juniper-4917.patch:818:(0) syntax error
  [edit]
    'prefix-list external-project { ... }'
      syntax error

To give you an other example, always with the same router, if I load the "factory-default" configuration this is the error:

[edit]
toto@MY_ROUTER# load factory-default
warning: activating factory configuration

toto@MY_ROUTER# ...ication plain-text-password

    syslog {
        user * {
            any emergency;
        }
        file messages {

            authorization info;
        }
        file interactive-commands {
            interactive-commands any;
        }
    }
}

    patch removes statement that is not empty

Have you already seen this problem? On my side I have already seen this issue with a T640 in version 8.5V2.10.

Do you think there is a problem with the database?

Thanks for your help and your tricks.

Hi,

 

Just for my curiosity, does 'commit full' change anything? 

 

Have a nice day,

G. 

"commit", "commit synchronise", "commit full", the problem is always the same.

Hello again,

 

I'm definitely not a wise man here :), but perhaps there is some file/statement left which is messing so much. I haven't seen M120 so this could be totally wrong, but is there a way to boot it from removable media? It should get Medieval on the router (incl. filesystem, afaik) make it fresh'n'clean and hopefully frag the bug. Sometime ago I heard about dangerous way to resolve some config locking problem. It was suggested to remove  /var/rundb/juniper* files, don't know is it relevant here.

 

One more thing, could You please paste ' commit check | display detail' output here?

 

PS: If You get any info from JTAC, it would be nice to share it with me 🙂

 

Have a nice day,

Gniewko

I have found a trick. Until now I did all my tests in "configure private" mode. In this mode there is the problem. If I use "configure" mode the problem disapear.

Here is what I see:

toto@MY_ROUTER> configure private
warning: uncommitted changes will be discarded on exit
Entering configuration mode

[edit]
toto@MY_ROUTER# load factory-default
warning: activating factory configuration

[edit]
toto@MY_ROUTER# set system root-authentication plain-text-password
New password:
Retype new password:

[edit]
toto@MY_ROUTER# commit check
[edit system login]
  'user'
    patch removes statement that is not empty

[edit]
toto@MY_ROUTER# rollback

[edit]
toto@MY_ROUTER# exit
Exiting configuration mode



toto@MY_ROUTER> configure
Entering configuration mode

[edit]
toto@MY_ROUTER# load factory-default                                
warning: activating factory configuration

[edit]
toto@MY_ROUTER# set system root-authentication plain-text-password   
New password:
Retype new password:

[edit]
toto@MY_ROUTER# commit check
configuration check succeeds


I see no public PR open about this issue.

I have inform the JTAC about it. We will see their conclusion.

PR #293207 has been openned.

Thank you for describing the workaround for this problem.

 

I just ran into this problem on an SRX240H2 running Junos 12.1X47-D15.4.

Trying to commit while in "configure private" gives the error. Running a commit (Full) in "configure" solves it.

I am experiencing the opposite problem. I have a SRX240H2 cluster running 12.1X44-D40.2 and if I edit with a simple "configure", i get the error on commit. If I edit with "configure exclusive", I don't get the error on commit... The config that I'm attempting to remove is an inactive 'groups' group that contains interfaces, security (nat, policies and zones) and applications.
