Junos OS

hey all, is there a command to view a coniguration that was runnign on the router, say a week ago?

i do not want to rollback. i just want to view the configuration.

thanks

List the rollback revisions:

[edit]

root@fenrir# rollback ?

View a particular revision:

root@fenrir> show system rollback x

where x  is the revision you want to view

Compare a revision to the current revision:

[edit]

root@fenrir# show | compare rollback x

One could also use Subversion, etc to keep copies of the config files off-router as well.

JUNOS software makes a copy of the running configuration, and keeps it in an archive of 50 previous configurations (default). The following commands to help you out ....

jahil@R1> file list /var/db/config/ recursive

jahil@R1> file list /config/ recursive

You will get the output as shown below which is quite enough to identify whatever configuration you are looking for..

-rw-r-----  1 root  wheel       2760 Feb 19 00:24 juniper.conf.10.gz
-rw-r-----  1 root  wheel       2755 Feb 19 00:19 juniper.conf.11.gz
-rw-r-----  1 root  wheel       2722 Feb 19 00:18 juniper.conf.12.gz
-rw-r-----  1 root  wheel       2727 Feb 19 00:18 juniper.conf.13.gz
-rw-r-----  1 root  wheel       2723 Feb 19 00:16 juniper.conf.14.gz
-rw-r-----  1 root  wheel       2748 Feb 19 00:16 juniper.conf.15.gz

JUNOS way to display file on your screen.

jahil@R1> file show /var/db/config/juniper.conf.10.gz

HTH

Adding to what others have already provided.  You can request arbitrary diffs between versions, with the following command in operational command mode (not edit).

 show system rollback compare <config1> <config2>

Where <config1> and <config2> are the numbers output by "show system commit".  This can help you narrow down exactly when a particular change was made.
