Juniper SYSTEM BASICS - CONFIGURATION GUIDE V 11.1.X User Manual

Using the Desktop Tool for Viewing Uncompressed Text Configuration
You can use a desktop tool that resides on your local client system to view the text
configuration embedded in the system configuration file. You need to copy the system
configuration file to your client system and run the desktop tool to view the
uncompressed text configuration. This tool uses an executable to decompress the
output of the show configuration command in the system configuration file. This
executable is generated using the freely available GNU gcc compiler, which is
platform-specific. The tool generates a temporary file in the directory where the Perl
script is being run during the process of execution.
The desktop tool does not perform any CRC checking of the system configuration
file before decompressing it. If the compressed data in the system configuration file
is corrupt, a compression failure message is displayed. You must configure execute
permisions for the files and executables that you install from software image bundle
that you downloaded from the Juniper Networks website or from the software CD
that you created from the downloaded bundle.
