  user@host>

  Users must have configure permission to view and use the configure command. When in configuration mode, a user can view and modify only those statements for which they have access privileges set. For more information, see the Junos OS System Basics Configuration Guide.

• If you enter configuration mode and another user is also in configuration mode, a message shows the user’s name and what part of the configuration the user is viewing or editing:

  user@host> configure 
  Entering configuration mode
  Users currently editing the configuration:
    root terminal d0 (pid 4137) on since 2008-04-09 23:03:07 PDT, idle 7w6d 08:22
    [edit]
  The configuration has been changed but not committed
  
  [edit]
  user@host# 

  Up to 32 users can be in configuration mode simultaneously, and they all can make changes to the configuration at the same time.

• To exit configuration mode, use the exit configuration-mode configuration mode command from any level, or use the exit command from the top level. For example:
  [edit protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0 interface so-0/0/0]user@host# exit configuration-mode exiting configuration modeuser@host>
  [edit]user@host# exit exiting configuration modeuser@host>

  If you try to exit from configuration mode using the exit command and the configuration contains changes that have not been committed, you see a message and prompt:

  [edit]user@host# exitThe configuration has been changed but not committedExit with uncommitted changes? [yes,no] (yes) <Enter>Exiting configuration modeuser@host>
• To exit with uncommitted changes without having to respond to a prompt, use the exit configuration-mode command. This command is useful when you are using scripts to perform remote configuration.
  [edit]user@host# exit configuration-modeThe configuration has been changed but not committedExiting configuration modeuser@host>
