    Nope.

    Explanation of the various Junos configuration files and their location on a router

    Erasing juniper.conf+  will remove the corrupted candidate config file left over from a previous issue. It's not even the current configuration file.

    Hi Olivier Benghozi,

    Thanks.
    I checked the KB below is the description,
    juniper.conf+.gz : This is the candidate configuration and exists only during commit. It is located in /config 

    Can you please confirm below two points :- 

    > So this file is automatically vanished post commit ? Is my understanding is correct ?
    > Also that means in my case you mean to say juniper.conf+.gz must present in /conf. which is incorrect, ideally it should not shown under /config and manually I need to remove as per KB and during this the current conf. will not remove and there will be no traffic impact , is my understanding is correct ?

    The actual config is in /config/, in the file juniper.conf or juniper.conf.gz

    juniper.conf+* is a transient stuff, no impact to remove it if a configuration session is not being done.
