Viewing the Difference between Configuration Files
View the difference between the running-configuration and an archived configuration using the command
show run diff. In the following example, the running-configuration is archived as archive_3, and then the
hostname is changed to “Force10.” The command
show run diff lists each difference in the two files; in this
case, there is only one, the hostname.
Example 1.
R1#archive config
configuration archived as archive_3
R1(conf)#hostname Force10
FTOS(conf)#do show run diff archive_3
running-config
-------
< hostname Force10
flash:/CFGARCH_DIR/archive_3
-------
> hostname R1
FTOS(conf)#
Example 2.
R1#archive config
configuration archived as archive_3
R1(conf)#hostname FTOS
FTOS(conf)#do show run diff archive_3
running-config
-------
< hostname FTOS
flash:/CFGARCH_DIR/archive_3
-------
> hostname R1
FTOS(conf)#
