Unsupported Configuration Statements in the Ephemeral Configuration Database

date_range 01-Dec-23

The ephemeral database is an alternate configuration database that enables Juniper Extension Toolkit (JET) applications and NETCONF and Junos XML protocol client applications to simultaneously load and commit configuration changes on Junos devices and with significantly greater throughput than when committing data to the candidate configuration database. To improve commit performance, the ephemeral commit process does not perform all of the operations and validations executed by the standard commit model. As a result, there are some features that cannot be configured through the ephemeral database. For example, the ephemeral configuration database does not support configuring interface alias names.

The ephemeral configuration database does not support the following configuration statements. If a client attempts to configure an unsupported statement in an ephemeral instance, the server returns an error during the load operation. The configuration statements are grouped under their top-level configuration statement.

23.4R1
Starting in Junos OS Release 23.4R1, to configure MSTP, RSTP, or VSTP in the ephemeral configuration database, you must first configure the ephemeral-db-support statement at the [edit protocols layer2-control] hierarchy level in the static configuration database.
23.2R2
Starting in Junos OS Release 23.2R2, to configure MSTP, RSTP, or VSTP in the ephemeral configuration database, you must first configure the ephemeral-db-support statement at the [edit protocols layer2-control] hierarchy level in the static configuration database.
23.2R1
Starting in Junos OS Release 23.2R1, Junos OS supports configuring MSTP, RSTP, and VSTP in the ephemeral configuration database on supported devices.
