On Juniper devices usually you issue “show configuration” which displays the configuration file how the device is configured as per below:
root@alcatron-switch> show configuration
## Last commit: 2013-01-11 14:14:58 UTC by root
version 11.4R1.6;
system {
   host-name alcatron-switch;
   root-authentication {
       encrypted-password “$1$GJroMRrQ$.UkiU”; ## SECRET-DATA
   }
   services;
   syslog {
       user * {
           any emergency;
       }
       file messages {
           any notice;
           authorization info;
       }
       file interactive-commands {
           interactive-commands any;
       }
   }
}
This is completely different compared to the cisco equivalent, to make things easier in a simplistic view similar to cisco simply issue “show configuration | display set” and voila everything is set out much neater and easy to copy and paste.
root@alcatron-switch> show configuration | display set
set version 11.4R1.6
set system host-name alcatron-switch
set system root-authentication encrypted-password “$1$GJroMRrQ$.UkiU”
set system services
set system syslog user * any emergency
set system syslog file messages any notice
set system syslog file messages authorization info
set system syslog file interactive-commands interactive-commands any
