Table 1: show system commit Output Fields

Field Name

Field Description

Level of Output

<number>

Displays the last 50 commit operations listed, most recent to first. The identifier <number> designates a configuration created for recovery using the request system configuration rescue save command.

none

<time-stamp>

Date and time of the commit operation.

none

<root>/<username>

User who executed the commit operation.

none

<method>

Method used to execute the commit operation:

  • CLI—CLI interactive user performed the commit operation.

  • Junos XML protocol—Junos XML protocol client performed the commit operation.

  • synchronize—The commit synchronize command was performed on the other Routing Engine.

  • snmp—An SNMP set request caused the commit operation.

  • button—A button on the router or switch was pressed to commit a rescue configuration for recovery.

  • autoinstall—A configuration obtained through autoinstallation was committed.

  • other—When there is no login name associated with the session, the values for user and client default to root and other. For example, during a reboot after package installation, mgd commits the configuration as a system commit, and there is no login associated with the commit.
