Comparing Switches to a Baseline File
This section provides information about comparing switches to a baseline file. When you compare the
configuration of a switch to a baseline file, Fabric Manager identifies and lists each parameter that does
not match. You should compare the configuration of one or more switches to a baseline if you plan to
merge two fabrics, add a new switch to a fabric, verify that Fabric Watch and SNMP settings are
consistent across a fabric, or troubleshoot the problem if a fabric segments.
To compare switches to a baseline file
1. Select Tasks > Configuration Management > Compare/Download from File.
The Compare/Download from File -- Select Baseline Configuration dialog opens (Figure 11-16).
Note
The Solaris environment does not display checkboxes clearly. If the checkbox displays
full, the value is selected. If the checkbox displays shallow, it is not selected.
