request interface interface

  • 1.  request interface interface

    Hello,

    A while back, a Juniper staff member Alex mentioned an op command on this thread...

    https://community.juniper.net/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?MID=73548#MainCopy_ctl08_ucMessageList_rptMessageList_DiscussionMessageListItem_8

    This command is brilliant and works as a great way of doing this without any needing to change the config, going into the shell, ephemeral databases, or anything else.

    For example...
    request interface interface ge-7/2/7.1000 down
    request interface interface ge-7/2/7.1000 up

    Oddly request interface interface doesn't show up in the autocomplete, doesn't show up on the Juniper CLI Explorer, doesn't show up in any docs, etc...

    The only mention of it online seems to be the forum thread I linked to... and now this one I guess?

    Does anyone know how much this command can be relied on, perhaps if it will continue to exist in future firmware versions? 

    Possibly if Juniper has a reason for not documenting it, or perhaps it is just an oversight?

    Thanks
