Config Snapshot Overview

1. Select ManageOperationsConfig Version Snapshots to find configuration snapshots and restore, load, or compare versions.
   1. Add New Filter—Choose filters to sort and filter config versions by column.
   2. Version—The version number of the configuration that was pushed.
      The Candidate allows you to compare the currently pending configuration changes to Strata Cloud Manager with a previous config version.

      The configuration version number is incremental. For example, if you have 10 versions and restore configuration version 2, the configuration version will change from 10 to 11 (it won’t show as 2).
   3. Date—Date and time the config was pushed.
   4. Pushed By—Administrator who pushed the changes.
   5. Edited By—Administrator who made the configuration changes before they were pushed.
   6. Object Changes—See how many objects were added, removed, or modified when the config was pushed.
   7. Target Devices—Devices that were targeted in the scope of the configuration push snapshot.
      When performing a Restore action, you can choose which of the devices to perform the operation on.
   8. Impacted Devices—Devices that have been modified since the previous configuration push. Devices are only considered to be impacted to the previous configuration push snapshot.
      Impacted and Target Devices

      If you have two devices, A and B, and only push to device A, A becomes the Target and Impacted device.

      If you then push again to device A and B, A and B are both targeted devices, but only B is an Impacted device.
      When performing a Load action, the listed devices will be impacted.
   9. Description—Review any information provided at the time the config was pushed.
   10. Refresh—Update the information in the snapshot table.
   11. Reset Filters—Clear all the filters to display all config versions.
   12. Compare—See what has changed from version to version.
       You can compare only two versions at a time.
   13. Actions— You can Restore or Load a config version.
       • Restore – Restore an earlier configuration version.
         Restoring a configuration version directly updates the running configuration on the deployments within the scope of the original push and does not require you to Push Config.
         Restore all the devices or deployments in the original scope of the configuration push or select specific devices or deployments to restore. You can’t expand the configuration to include devices or deployments outside of the original scope.
         Restoring a config version does not delete or modify the candidate configuration. The configuration in progress will be saved. Restoring a configuration just updates the running configuration version. Deployments may appear out of sync when the restore action is used.
       • Load – Load an earlier version as your candidate configuration in Strata Cloud Manager. Your current candidate configuration will be lost when an older configuration is loaded.
         Make updates to the new candidate configuration or apply the configuration to new devices and deployments outside of the original config snapshot and, when you’re ready, Push Config.
