Configuration Mode Banner

The portion of the prompt in braces, [edit], is a banner. The banner indicates that you are in configuration mode and shows your location in the statement hierarchy. When you first enter configuration mode, you always are at the top level of the hierarchy, which is indicated by the [edit] banner. For example:

 

When the word "ORPHANED" is displayed to the right of the [edit] banner, it indicates that part of the configuration has been deleted by another user, and you are not working with the most recent global candidate configuration; for example,

[edit protocols bgp] ORPHANED 

user@host# 

To refresh your view of the global configuration, move to the top level of the hierarchy.
