Configuration workflow commands

Configuration workflow commands compares the configuration workflow commands of the Nokia SR OS MD-CLI to those used by Junos OS and IOS XR.

Table 1. Configuration workflow commands
	SR OS	Junos OS	IOS XR
Navigate into a context	Enter the context by typing `context` For example: `router bgp`	`edit context` For example: `edit protocols bgp`	Enter the context by typing `context` For example: `router bgp 65551`
Set an element in the candidate datastore	Enter the context with a value by typing `context value`	`set context value`	Enter the context with a value by typing `context value`
Delete an element from the candidate datastore	`delete context`	`delete context`	`no context`
Annotate an element in the candidate datastore with a comment	`annotate "string" context`	`annotate context "string"`	Enter `!` followed by a string. The comment is associated with the next configuration element entered.
Show the candidate configuration from the present working context	`info`	`show`	`show configuration merge`
Show the candidate configuration with default and unconfigured values	`info detail`	`show \| display detail`	—
Show the candidate configuration with inherited values from configuration groups	`info inheritance`	`show \| display inheritance`	`show configuration running inheritance`
Show the intended running configuration with configuration groups expanded without groups and apply-groups statements	`info intended`	—	—
Show the candidate configuration in a flat format	`info flat` `info full-context`	`show \| display set relative` `show \| display set`	`show configuration merge formal`
Show the candidate configuration in JSON format	`info json`	`show \| display json`	`show running-config \| json`
Show the candidate configuration in XML format	`info xml`	`show \| display xml`	`show running-config \| xml`
Show the running configuration	`admin show configuration`	`show configuration`	`show running-config`
Show changes between datastores	`compare`	`show \| compare`	`show commit changes diff`
Discard changes in the candidate datastore	`discard`	`rollback` or `rollback 0`	`abort`
Update the candidate baseline	`update`	`update`	—
Validate changes in the candidate datastore	`validate`	`commit check`	—
Commit changes to the running datastore	`commit` (also runs `validate`)	`commit` (also runs `commit check`)	`commit`
Commit changes to the running datastore with a comment	`commit comment "string"`	`commit comment "string"`	`commit comment "string"`
Roll back to a previous configuration	`rollback commit-id \| startup`	`rollback number`	`rollback configuration to commit-id`
Run an operational command	`/command`	`run command`	`do command`

Commit confirmed commands

Commit confirmed commands compares the commit commands of the Nokia SR OS MD-CLI to those used by Junos OS and IOS XR.

Table 2. Commit confirmed commands
	SR OS	Junos OS	IOS XR
Start the commit confirmed	`commit confirmed [number]` Default timeout: 10 minutes	`commit confirmed [number]` Default timeout: 10 minutes	`commit confirmed [number] \| [minutes number]` Note: timeout is in seconds unless specified with `minutes` parameter
Accept a commit confirmed	`commit confirmed accept`	`commit`	`commit`
Cancel a commit confirmed	`commit confirmed cancel`	`rollback 1` and `commit`	Exit configuration mode or clear the CLI session

Configuration management commands

Configuration management commands compares the configuration management commands of the Nokia SR OS MD-CLI to those used by Junos OS and IOS XR.

Table 3. Configuration management commands
	SR OS	Junos OS	IOS XR
Paste configuration	Input is accepted in hierarchical, `flat`, `full-context` or `compare` format, opening ({) and closing (}) braces navigate	Input is accepted in `display set` format or using `load merge terminal relative` for hierarchical format	Input is accepted in hierarchical or formal format
Load and merge a configuration file	`load merge url` `commit`	`load merge url` `commit`	`load url` `commit`
Load and replace a configuration file	`load full-replace url` `commit`	`load override url` `commit`	`load url` `commit replace`
Save configuration to a file	`info > url`	`save url`	`copy running-config url`
Show the commit history	`show system management-interface commit-history`	`show system commit`	`show configuration commit list`
