Comparing Running Configurations with Initial Configurations

You can compare running configurations with initial configurations on the same switch.

• Initial configurations

Configurations that you selected when you add a switch configuration, including the global configuration file and the configuration template

• Running configurations

Configurations that are currently running on the switch

Note: This feature doesn’t support the following scenarios:

• Comparing configurations on different switches

• Comparing configurations on imported switches

• Comparing configurations on disconnected switches (switches can’t connect with the AmpCon-DC server)

Prerequisites

• Check the Mgmt IP column on the “Switch” page, and ensure that the switch to compare is connected.

  • √: The switch is disconnected.

  • x: The switch is connected.

• Ensure that the switch to compare is not in Imported status on the “Switch” page.

Procedure

1. In the AmpCon-DC UI, click Service > Config Template.

2. In the SN field, click Select.

3. In the pop-up window, select the switch to compare.

4. In the Template field, click Select.

5. In the pop-up window, select the global configuration file and the configuration template that you pushed to the switch during the initial switch deployment process. Then, click Generate.

6. In the SN drop-down list, select Running Config(set format) or Running Config(all set format).

• Running Config(set format): Displays configurations as the show | display set command result in the switch

• Running Config(all set format): Displays configurations as the show all | display set command result in the switch

Then, you can see differences between the running configurations and the initial configurations on the switch.
