Comparing SRC Configurations
This sample procedure describes how to use the compare command to display the uncommitted changes against the active configuration.
To compare uncommitted configuration changes:
- Use the show | compare command to compare any
uncommitted changes made at the CLI with the active configuration.[edit]user@host# show | compare
- Use the show | compare filename command to compare the candidate configuration against a text
file containing the configuration. The candidate configuration is
a combination of the active configuration and the uncommitted configuration
changes.[edit]user@host# show | compare filename
 | Note: The compare command works only with the text format display. |
The following example displays the show | compare command output, if the edit level of the admin user is changed from normal to expert and a new user guest is configured:
[edit system login] user@host# show | compare
+ user guest {
+ class super-user;
+ full-name guest;
+ uid 501;
+ gid 100;
+ authentication {
+ encrypted-password "{crypt}jWAyE2tHU5EUk";
+ }
+ level normal;
+ complete-on-space on;
+ }
[edit system login user admin]
user@host# show | compare
- level normal + level expert
| Note: The plus sign (+) before the statement name indicates new configuration and the minus sign (–) before the statement name indicates deleted configuration. |
