While viewing the Devices in either the Table or Diagram view, you can compare the Running vs. the Startup configuration on devices.

Note: This can only be completed on Out-of-Sync devices.

Using Compare Out of Sync Files option,

  1. To compare the Running/Startup   Admin and System configurations, have your devices displayed in a Devices view.

     

    compareoosync

     

  2. Next, select a device from the list that has the "out-of-sync" icon outof_sync_icon in the State column, and right-click that device.

  3. At the Compare Out of Sync Files option, you can select one of two options. Select either the runningAdmin / startupAdmin, or the running/System / startupSystem option.

    If selecting the runningAdmin / startupAdmin, the Compare Configs window shows the following comparison, for example.

    If selecting runningSystem / startupSystem the Compare Configs windows shows the following, for example.
