Juniper MCD decided to coredump on commit and rollback
On a Juniper EX3300 a colleague of mine entered an invalid statement:
interface-range some_ports {
member ge0/0/2;
member-range ge-0/0/0 to ge-0/0/1;
}
The member ge0/0/2 is missing a - between ge and 0/0/2. Juniper (for whatever reason) accepted the input but mcd decided to segfault when asked to delete or rollback the configuration.
pid 75982 (mgd), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)
Recovering from that case is actually not that hard. You just know the right command(s) ;-)
You can load an older configuration via the load override <config file> command. I did also try the load replace <config file> command but that also segfaulted..
andi@foo# load override ?
Possible completions:
<filename> Filename (URL, local, remote, or floppy)

andi@foo# load override juniper.conf+.gz
load complete
In my case the juniper.conf+.gz was the desired config file. I recommend inspecting those files before loading them (they are stored in /config/).
