Configuration File Compare Window
In addition to letting you back up and restore configuration files, and deploy firmware updates to
devices, the Configuration File Compare window manages viewing and comparing configuration
files backed up from the selected devices.
Compare and View options have the following limitations:
• If you select a config file that is a single file, without any historical precedent, no comparison
option appears on the menu since the selected version does not have a prior version.
• If you select a single config file of version two or higher, comparison is an option. When
selected, OpenManage Network Manager automatically compares against the most recent
prior version for that device and file name.
• If you select two config files of any version, OpenManage Network Manager compares those
two versions.
• If you select three or more config files, no comparison option appears.
• The View option appears for a single selection only, and only lets you view files that are not
binary.
The File Type column indicates whether a configuration file is binary (not viewable) or text
(viewable).
