On an EX4300 switch running JunOS 14.1 let's imagine I typed

reference manual, and endless DuckDuckGoing, I cannot see a simple
way of just abandoning the commit. I've got to be missing something
stunningly obvious here because it's unthinkable that this functionality
doesn't exist. Help?!?
What would you say if I told you a coworker once did exactly that, and did
commit and-quit...and it had to be fixed by another coworker getting to it
via OOB console and doing the rollback? :)
top [not necessary in your case, if you never left top]
rollback 0
quit
Also, get into the habit of never doing a commit without first doing
top
show | compare
so you can see what your change is actually doing to the whole config.
i.e. if you did a show | compare at the top of the config and saw the
entire interfaces section of the config was "removed" in the resulting
config diff, you probably wouldn't commit.
