In addition, you can view the execution results for every job and view the step-by-step details of the
configuration or software deployment. Additionally, you can view the changes that were made during
the deployment.
Configuration compare
With the Configuration Compare option, you can select and view configuration files side-by-side. You
can select a current startup or running configuration file and compare it against another file from the
same device or another device. In addition, you can compare device startup or running configuration
files that have been backed up to IMC. IMC presents both files side-by-side with the option to view the
entirety of the files or the differences only. You can also step through the files and highlight every
difference by using the Next Diff button.
Configuration audit and reports
With the Configuration Audit option, you can audit the configuration and software versions for network
resources.
From the Configuration Backup Report, you can view, export, and restore the backup files for both startup
and running configuration files for all devices managed in IMC.
With the Configuration Baseline Report feature, you can view the results of IMC evaluation of the last
backup configuration file against the configured baseline file to determine if any changes have been
made. In addition, you can launch the configuration compare option from the Configuration Baseline
Report to compare the last backup configuration file against the configured baseline file.
Software update
With the Software Update feature, you can view a history of all software updates performed in IMC with
the ability to launch a software restoration from the Software Update Report. With the Software Baseline
Report, you can view both current and baseline software file information. In addition, IMC performs a
baseline comparison to verify whether or not the baseline software running on a device is identical to the
current version.
Auto backup plan
By using the Auto Backup Plan, you can schedule automated backups of configuration files for one or
more devices. By using IMC Backup History Report you have visibility into the backup results for all
backup tasks, including backups initiated manually and backups initiated through an auto backup plan.
Configuration check
The Compliance Check feature lets you check the configurations of devices. First, create a compliance
policy and add rules in the policy. Then, create a check task, associate the compliance policy and
devices to be checked with the check task, and schedule the check task to complete compliance check.
You can also specify display commands to be issued on the selected devices. IMC checks the compliancy
of the display command output by using the policy rules.
