[Juniper] Activate / Deactivated Command
Posted by admin on December 14th, 2009
Activate / Deactivate Command is more like disabling / enabling configuration in JunOS.
The purpose is just to keep the setting / configuration by disabling / deactivating it.
Once you need to activate just one step to do 
Drawback is keeping more config file size.
For small config changes is fine to have.
Here the steps example deactivating a term in a policy option - policy statement named “IMPORT-PCCW”
Steps :
===================================================
admin@junOS# deactivate term prefered-outgoing
[edit policy-options policy-statement IMPORT-PCCW]
admin@junOS# show
inactive: term prefered-outgoing {
from as-path PACNET;
then {
local-preference 6200;
accept;
}
}
term else {
from as-path ALL ;
then reject;
}
[edit policy-options policy-statement IMPORT-PCCW]
admin@junOS# commit
commit complete
[edit policy-options policy-statement IMPORT-PCCW]
