Compressing the Current Configuration File
By default, the current operational configuration
file is compressed, and is stored in the file juniper.conf.gz, in the /config file system, along
with the last three committed versions of the configuration. If you
have large networks, the current configuration file might exceed the
available space in the /config file
system. Compressing the current configuration file enables the file
to fit in the file system, typically reducing the size of the file
by 90 percent. You might want to compress your current operation configuration
files when they reach 3 megabytes (MB) in size.
When you compress the current configuration file,
the names of the configuration files change. To determine the size
of the files in the /config file
system, issue the file list /config detail command.
 | Note: We recommend that you compress the configuration files (this is the default) to minimize the amount of disk space that they require. |
- If you want to compress the current configuration
file, include the compress-configuration-files statement
at the [edit system] hierarchy level:[edit system]compress-configuration-files;
Commit the current configuration file to include the compression-configuration-files statement. Commit the configuration again to compress the current configuration file:
[edit system]user@host# set compress-configuration-filesuser@host# commitcommit completeuser@host# commitcommit complete - If you do not want to compress the current
operational configuration file, include the no-compress-configuration-files statement at the [edit system] hierarchy level:[edit system]no-compression-configuration-files;
Commit the current configuration file to include the no-compress-configuration-files statement. Commit the configuration again to uncompress the current configuration file:
