added to the new VLAN.

8 Ridgeline validates the options you selected against a set of predefined configuration rules, and
ensures that the target switches are running a version of software that supports the features you are
provisioning.
If Ridgeline successfully validates the selected options, it verifies network connectivity to the target
switches. If a connection can be established to all of the target switches, Ridgeline deploys the
configuration commands, then saves the configuration file on each switch. Finally, Ridgeline updates
its own database with information about the configuration changes on the switches.
The information in the Progress and Results window is logged in the Ridgeline Audit Log. See
“Viewing Logged Information about Provisioning Tasks” on page 84 for more information.
