Devices Config
NeDi will back up your device configurations if it has privileged CLI access and you tell it to with -b, or -Bx. With the Devices-Config module you can review and compare backed up configurations and their changes.
- A config report and recent backup-related events are shown by default.
- There are two modes of operation which are list and compare.
List Configurations
For simple listing of configuration values, follow these steps:
- Search for text by setting a filter
- Limit number of displayed characters in the excerpts
- Limit number of displayed devices
- Click on an excerpt to view the whole configuration
Compare Configurations
You can use this module to quickly see differences between stored configurations.
- Choose a reference device from the "List" selectbox.
- Now either select the 2nd device from the left select box in "Comparison" or leave it at -Type- to compare against all configurations of the same type.
- Select how the output should be displayed.
When viewing a configuration you've got the following options:
Toggles line number display for easier change review.
Suppresses the motd character with that configurations of Cisco devices can directly be copied an pasted.
Use System-Database to display the config as plain-text or select a file version in the changes area to edit the actual file (available when you run nedi.pl -Bx).
Clears configuration or changes.
