Associating target devices with a baseline
The Associate Devices to a Baseline task enables you to designate the baseline to be used for verifying the compliance status of
target devices.
NOTE: Before you begin to associate a conguration baseline to target devices, you must congure the credentials to run
the device inventory. See Conguring the credentials and device conguration inventory schedule.
NOTE: A device can only have one associated device conguration baseline. If you associate a second baseline to a
device, the second baseline will become the only conguration baseline associated to the device.
To associate target devices to a baseline:
1. Click Manage → Congurations.
2. Perform one of the following:
• In the Common Tasks pane, click Associate Devices to a Baseline.
• In the Compliance by Baseline pane, either you right-click a baseline, and then click Associate Devices, or you click a
baseline. The Associate Devices pop up wizard is displayed, and then click Associate Devices.
3. The Associate Devices to a Baseline Wizard is displayed.
4. On the Select Baseline page, select a server baseline, chassis baseline, or MX Chassis baseline from the list you want to
associate with the target device, and then click Next.
NOTE: Only conguration baselines that you have either created or cloned are available for selection.
5. On the Select Devices page, select the target devices listed based on the baseline selected in step 4 from the All Applicable
Devices tree, and then click Finish.
To view the updated compliance status of the devices, you must run the conguration inventory task. See Viewing compliance
status of devices.

schedule or select the device in the device tree and click Run Conguration Inventory on the Conguration tab in the right pane.
NOTE: Compliance tasks are not supported for IOA templates.
To view the compliance status of devices to the associated conguration baseline:
1. Click Manage → Congurations → Device Compliance Portal.
The Device Compliance graph and grid display the compliance status of the devices.
2. To view the devices by compliance status, click the Device Compliance graph.
3. To view the compliance status of a particular device, click the device in the Device Compliance grid.
NOTE: You can also select the device in the device tree (Manage → Devices), and click the Conguration tab in the
right-pane to view the compliance status.
