Comparing Two Configuration File—The Diff Command
The Diff feature allows you to contents of two saved configuration files for a device, or a configuration
file and the baseline file using a difference viewer of your choice (see
“Configuring a Viewer” on
page 169 for information on configuring a difference viewer). You can only compare files on a single
device.
To view differences between two configuration files for a device:
1 In the main Configuration Manager window, select the device for which you want to compare
configuration files.
2 Select the two configuration files you want to compare (using Ctrl-click or Shift-click).
For ExtremeXOS devices, you must expand the contents of two .zip files; then you can select and
compare the configuration files or policy files from within the two zip files. You cannot use the Diff
function to compare the two .zip files themselves.
3 Click the Diff button at the top of the window, or select Diff from the Config menu or from the
right-click pop-up menu.
If you have not selected two configuration or policy files, the Diff button and Diff commands are
not available. See Figure 76 for an example of selecting files for a device running ExtremeXOS.
