Viewing the Active Configuration

Before you modify the configuration on a device, you need to view the current active configuration on the device. To view all the configuration options for a device, you need to upload the appropriate DMI schema to Junos Space Network Management Platform. If you have not uploaded the appropriate DMI schema for the device, Junos Space Platform uses the default DMI schema for the device.

To view the active configuration on the device:

  1. On the Network Management Platform user interface, select Devices > Device Management.

    The Device Management page is displayed.

  2. Right-click the device whose active configuration you want to view and select Device Configuration > View Active Configuration.

    The View Active Configuration page is displayed.

    You can view the Junos OS statement hierarchy in the left pane. The right pane displays the CLI view of the active configuration on the device, and custom configuration views configured from the CLI Configlets workspace. You can also apply CLI Configlets that match the context of the device.

    By default, the right pane displays the Default View tab (active configuration on the device).

  3. (Optional) To view multiple configuration options simultaneously in the right pane:

    1. Click the Custom Settings icon in the left pane.

      The Modify Custom Settings page is displayed.

    2. Select the Enable Multiselect check box.

    3. Click OK.

      Multiple configuration options are displayed in the right pane.

  4. (Optional) To view the configuration options in alphabetical order:

    1. Select the Custom Settings icon in the left pane.

      The Modify Custom Settings page is displayed.

    2. Select the Enable Alphabetic Ordering check box.

    3. Click OK.

      The configuration options are displayed in alphabetical order in the left pane and the right pane.

    Note:

    The Enable Alphabetical Ordering feature is enabled only for your user account.

  5. (Optional) To add a configuration filter and view a specific set of configuration options, click the Create Filter icon in the left pane.

    The Add Configuration Filter page is displayed.

    For more information, see Creating a Configuration Filter.

  6. (Optional) Click the Edit filter icon to modify an existing configuration filter.
  7. (Optional) Click the Delete filter icon to delete the existing configuration filters.
  8. (Optional) To view the configuration on the device by the custom configuration view created from the CLI Configlets workspace, click the tab for that configuration view.

    For example, a configuration view Example 1 assigned to the Global domain displays a tab named Global/Example1.

    The right pane displays the configuration of the device as specified by format in the configuration view.

  9. (Optional) To view the configuration of the device in CLI format, click the Default View tab in the right pane.

    The right pane displays the current configuration of the device.

  10. (Optional) To refresh the CLI view of the device configuration, click the Refresh icon in the right pane.
  11. (Optional) To apply a CLI Configlet or submit the changes from a CLI Configlet to the change request of the device, click the Configure tab in the right pane.
    1. You can filter the list of CLI Configlets that you want to apply to the device manually or by using tags.

      • To filter the CLI Configlets manually, enter the search criteria in the Search field and click the Search icon.

        The list of CLI Configlets is further filtered by the search criteria.

      • To filter the CLI Configlets by using tags:

        1. Click the Select by tags option button.

          The Search field disappears.

        2. From the Select by tags drop-down list, select an appropriate tag.

        3. Click OK.

          The list of CLI Configlets is further filtered by the tag you selected.

        Note:

        This filtered view is retained even when you navigate to other inventory landing pages.

    2. Select a CLI Configlet from the filtered list.

      The parameters of the CLI Configlet are displayed.

      From Junos Space Platform Release 17.2R1 onward, you can use CSV files to input parameter values when you need to apply configlets on multiple devices. You can upload the parameter values in the specified format as a CSV file.

      To download a sample CSV file, click the Download Configlet Parameters link. The SampleParameterCSV file is downloaded with the parameters already present in the editable grid. You can enter or edit the required parameter values in the CSV file easily in addition to manually editing the parameter value field in the grid.

      To upload the edited CSV file, click the Browse button, select the file, and then click the Upload button. The values of parameters in the CSV file are populated to the editable grid. The parameters of CLI Configlet are listed in the grid with pagination support.

    3. (Optional) To enter the values for the parameters of the CLI Configlet, click the appropriate cell in the Value column.

      • If you enter a value for a parameter that is a Password field, the value is hidden.

      • If you enter a value for a parameter that is a Confirm Password field, a pop-up window is displayed. Enter the password again and click OK.

    4. (Optional) If you want to apply the CLI Configlet later:

      1. Select the Schedule at a later time check box.

      2. Enter the date in the Date field in the DD/MM/YYYY format.

      3. Enter the time in the Time field in the hh:mm format.

    5. Click Next.

      You can preview the configuration in the CLI Configlet in the Preview area.

      The top of the Preview area displays the parameters with the values that are applied to devices. The bottom left of the Preview area displays the devices you have selected. The bottom right of the Preview area displays the configuration that will be applied to the device selected on the left.

      • Click a device to view the configuration that will be applied to the device.


    6. Before applying the CLI Configlet, you can validate the configuration in the CLI Configlet on the device.

      1. (Optional) To validate the CLI Configlet on the device, click Validate.

        The Validate Results page is displayed.

        A job is triggered. The Progress column displays the progress of validation against each device. When the validation is complete, the results of the validation are displayed. The Status column indicates the results of the validation. If the validation is unsuccessful, the details of the error are displayed on the page.

        Note:

        You can also view the validation results from the Job Management page. To view the validation results, double-click the job ID and click the View Results link corresponding to the device. The Validate CLI Configlet Job Remarks pop-up window is displayed. Navigate back to the Validate Results page.

      2. Click Close to return to the Apply CLI Configlet page.

    8. You can apply the CLI Configlet to the device or submit the configuration changes included in the CLI Configlet to the change requests.

        • To apply the CLI Configlet to the device, click Apply.

          If you selected to apply the CLI Configlet now, the Configlets Results page is displayed.

          A job is triggered. The Progress column displays the progress of applying the CLI Configlet against each device. When the job is complete, the results of the job are displayed. The Status column indicates the results of the job.

          Note:

          You can also view the results from the Job Management page. To view the results, double-click the job ID and click the View Results link corresponding to the device. The Apply CLI Configlet Job Remarks pop-up window is displayed. Navigate back to the Configlet Results page.

        • Click Close, You are returned to the View Active Configuration page.

        • If you scheduled this task for a later time, the Job Information dialog box that appears displays the schedule information. Click OK.

      • To submit the configuration changes to the change requests, click Submit.

        The configuration changes are included in the list of changes on the Review/Deploy Configuration page in the Devices workspace.
