Description

Present article is to advise client on how to synchronize configuration on Dual Routing Engine Chassis, specially when there was a hardware R.E. change

Symptoms

Need to transfer updated configuration lines to a backup Routing Engine, which might have stable or default config. lines after hardware swap

Solution

To push configuration lines from Main R.E. to backup R.E. use following command over configure mode: #commit synchronize

 

Tips:

1) To do this command its not mandatory for the 2 Routing Engines to be on same JunOS release. They can differ JunOS and action will be successful. If it fails then open a Service Request to have feedback for the error.

2) After command, you can compare lines from both Routing Engine via doing this command from both R.E. #show | display set | count

 

Warning: Do not run command from Routing Engine which is backup/ or doesn't have update config. lines, as it will erase updated configuration to a default configuration.
