Return to a Previously Committed Configuration

To return to the most recently committed configuration and load it into configuration mode without activating it, use the rollback configuration mode command:

[edit]

user@host# rollback 

load complete

To activate the configuration that you loaded, use the commit command:

[edit]

user@host# rollback

load complete

[edit]

user@host# commit

To return to a configuration prior to the most recently committed one, include the number in the rollback command:

[edit]

user@host# rollback number 

load complete

number can be a number in the range 0 through 9. The most recently saved configuration is number 0 (which is the default configuration to which the system returns), and the oldest saved configuration is number 9.

To display previous configurations, including rollback number, date, time, the name of the user who committed changes, and the method of commit, use the rollback ? command.

[edit]

user@host# rollback ?

For more information about configuration versions, see .

The access privilege level for using the rollback command is controlled by the rollback permission bit. Users for whom this permission bit is not set can return only to the most recently committed configuration. Users for whom this bit is set can return to any prior committed configuration. For more information, see 

Example: Return to a Previously Committed Version of the Configuration

Return to and activate the version stored in the file juniper.conf.3:

[edit]

user@host# rollback 3

user@host# commit
