Since I rekindled this once already... I don't get what the benefit of "load <blah> interactive" would be over just doing normal set commands. Putting everything on a single line with inline comments like that seems like a recipe for headaches. Each time I look at it I have to go back over it again 2-3 times to make sense of what is a comment, what is a setting, and how they actually link together. Could just be me having a hard time grasping it quickly.
On a related note, this reminded me of something in the behavior of "load terminal" that bit me once and I'm wondering if it bit anyone else. When using load merge terminal, and likely replace and override as well, if you break out using ctrl-C to abort the load instead of ctrl-D to save it, it doesn't actually abort the load. Anything that parsed successfully up to that point is now part of the candidate configuration, exactly the same as if you used ctrl-D to exit "load terminal" normally. Anyone else learn that unexpectedly? -Chad -----Original Message----- From: juniper-nsp [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stepan Kucherenko Sent: Saturday, October 24, 2015 3:23 PM To: Phil Shafer Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [j-nsp] Multi Core on JUNOS? > This would allow set-ish style (since the UI really doesn't need the > braces on input) as well as allowing the placement of comments: > > [edit] > cli# load terminal merge interactive > [Type ^D at a new line to end input] > protocols bgp /* foo is cool */ group foo /* local-as is also */ local-as 42; > /* You can also put braces here */ > protocols { > bgp { > /* goo is not */ > group goo { local-as 51; }}} > ^D > load complete > Is it possible to delete last line(s) ? If yes then this way of configuring something will become the only one I will use all the time. :-) I think it's great. > > But I need to work out what (and how) would get redrawn when you > type "?" deep under braces (like at the "51" above).

I'd be happy even with the current line. But maybe someone else will have more ideas ? _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp ________________________________ This message may contain confidential information and is intended for specific recipients unless explicitly noted otherwise.
