Comparing Configuration Files

To compare any two of the past 50 committed configuration files:

1. Select Config Management > History.

   Note: After you make changes to the configuration in this window, you must commit the changes immediately for them to take effect. To commit all changes to the active configuration, select Commit Options > Commit. See Using the Commit Options to Commit Configuration Changes (J-Web Procedure) for details about all commit options.

   A list of the current and previous 49 configurations is displayed as Configuration History in the main pane (see Figure 19). Table 66 summarizes the Configuration History display.

2. Select the check boxes to the left of the two configuration versions you want to compare.
3. Click Compare.

   The main pane displays the differences between the two configuration files at each hierarchy level as follows (see Figure 20):

   • Lines that have changed are highlighted side by side in green.
   • Lines that exist only in the more recent configuration file are displayed in red on the left.
   • Lines that exist only in the older configuration file are displayed in blue on the right.
