When you finish modifying a device configuration, you can review and deploy the configuration by using the Review/Deploy Configuration page. You can review and deploy configurations created using the Schema-Based Configuration Editor, CLI Configlets, or Configuration Guides. You can review these configurations in a device-centric view, exclude or include, and approve or reject appropriate configuration changes, and deploy them to one or more devices in a single commit operation.

In Junos Space Network Management Platform, different users can create configuration templates for a particular device. A single reviewer can then view all these configurations for one or multiple devices (see Viewing and Assigning Shared Objects) to decide which of them to deploy and in what sequence.

Note:

It is possible to create a configuration that is not shared, in which case, only its creator can deploy it. For example, configurations scheduled for deployment that were created with the Schema-Based Configuration Editor are not shared and are therefore not visible as a shared object.

Note:

You cannot validate or deploy a configuration on a modeled device that is in the Modeled state.

You can perform the following tasks on the Review/Deploy Configuration page:

Viewing the Configuration Changes on the Device

You can view the configuration changes that you want to deploy on the device, on the Review/Deploy Configuration page. The configuration displayed on the page includes changes from the Schema-Based Configuration Editor, templates, or CLI Configlets.

To view the configuration changes:

On the Junos Space Network Management Platform user interface, select Devices > Device Management.
The Device Management page appears.

Right-click the device whose configuration you want to view and select Device Configuration > Review/Deploy Configuration.

The Review/Deploy Configuration page is displayed. The Selected Devices area on the left side of this page displays the device on which you are about to deploy the configuration. The right side of this page displays the modified configuration that you are about to deploy on the device, on the Change Summary tab.

For more information about the tabs displayed on this page, see Table 2.

Note:

You can also select multiple devices and view the configuration changes on these devices on the Change Summary tab.

Table 1 shows the columns displayed in the Selected Devices area.

Table 1: Columns in the Selected Devices Area
Column Name	Description
Device ID	ID of the device
Device Name	Name of the device
Managed Status	Current status of the managed device in Junos Space Network Management Platform. For more information about states in the Managed Status column, see Viewing Managed Devices.
Validation	Validation results of the configuration on the device
Status	Status of the modified configuration on the device: approved, rejected, or deployed

The right side of the page displays different tabs that you can select to view configuration deltas from the running configuration. A delta is the differential configuration that you are about to deploy on the device. Table 2 lists the tabs.

Table 2: Tabs to View Configuration Deltas
Tab Name	Description
Change Summary	Pending configuration changes for the device
Delta Config (CLI)	Deltas from the running configuration in CLI format
Delta Config (XML)	Deltas from the running configuration in XML format
Additional Info	More configuration details to add to the audit trail

Note:

The configuration changes from the Schema-Based Configuration Editor or templates are shown in the CLI format, whereas the changes from a CLI Configlet are shown only in the curly-braces format. The Delta Config (CLI) and Delta Config (XML) tabs are disabled if the delta configuration includes configuration changes from CLI Configlets.

Click the appropriate tab for the details you want to view.
