Configuration comparison in General Configuration Compare
To enter the General Configuration Compare page from Configuration Compare:
1. Navigate to Service > General Configuration Compare.
a. Click the Service tab from the tabular navigation system on the top.
b. Click the Configuration Center on the navigation tree on the left.
c. Click the Configuration Compare under Configuration Center from the navigation system
on the left.
The General Configuration Compare page appears. This page lets you configure the two files you
want to compare. The first file is displayed on the left side of the results page and the second file
is displayed on the right.
Select devices
2. Click Select Device. The Select Device dialog box appears.
3. Add devices either By View or by Advanced query. See " Adding devices by View " and " Adding
devices by Advanced query ."
You can select at most two devices. If you select one device, the left device and the right device are
the same. If you select two devices, one of them is the left device and the other is the right device.
For how to compare configuration files, see " Configuration comparison in Configuration Center ."
Deploying configurations and software by using
IMC deployment guide
IMC Deployment Guide is a step-by-step guide for successfully deploying device configurations and
software. The Deployment Guide provides a facility for deploying device configurations by using the
configuration templates you have created. When deploying configuration files, IMC evaluates the
configuration template against every device selected for deployment to ensure that the template can be
deployed successfully. IMC identifies when devices do not match the configuration template. By using the
Deployment Guide you can also restore device configurations.
You can also deploy system software and other files uploaded to the software library. With the
Deployment Guide, you can deploy software from the Software Library to one or more devices. With
software deployments, IMC performs two checks. The first check evaluates whether or not the system
software matches the devices current system software and identifies whether or not the software should
be deployed to the devices. With the second check, IMC verifies that there is enough device space to
deploy the selected software by using the deployment strategy that you have configured. By using the
Deployment Guide you can also restore system software should the need arise.
IMC also lets you run configuration or software deployments immediately or to schedule them for a later
date. For configuration deployments, you can configure recurring or periodic deployments.
Deploying a device configuration
The Deployment Guide lets you deploy the device configurations they have created by using
configuration templates. IMC validates the viability of deploying configurations to every device selected
