compress-configuration-files (System)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Compress the current operational configuration file. By default, the current operational configuration file is compressed, and is stored in the file juniper.conf, in the /config file system, along with the last three committed versions of the configuration. However, with large networks, the current configuration file might exceed the available space in the /config file system. Compressing the current configuration file allows the file to fit in the file system, typically reducing the size of the file by 90 percent. The current configuration file is compressed on the second commit of the configuration after the first commit is made to include the compress-configuration-files statement.

Note:

We recommend that you enable compression of the router configuration files to minimize the amount of disk space that they require.
