Release Information
Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 11.1 for the QFX Series.
Description
Compress the current operational configuration
file. The file is stored in the file juniper.conf, in the /config file system,
along with the last three committed versions of the configuration.
However, with large networks, the current configuration file might
exceed the available space in the /config file system. Compressing
the current configuration file allows the file to fit in the file
system, typically reducing the size of the file by 90 percent. The
current configuration file is compressed on the second commit of the
configuration after the first commit is made to include the compress-configuration-files statement.
 | Note: We recommend that you enable compression of the configuration files to minimize the amount of disk space that they require. |
Default
The current operational configuration file is uncompressed.
Required Privilege Level
