Viewing the pre- and post-configuration snapshot
You can create a device configuration payload that issues device-monitoring commands to the
devices when the payload is deployed. Device-monitoring commands can be issued before
(pre-configuration snapshot), after (post-configuration snapshot), or before and after (pre-payload
deployment and post-payload deployment).
Outputs of the device-monitoring commands are available as configuration snapshots. To view
these snapshots, complete the following steps.
1. Click the IP tab.
2. Select Configure > Configuration File > Configuration File Manager.
3. Click the Configuration Snapshots tab.
4. Select a device from the Product Name column to display the configuration snapshots that are
available for that device.
5. Click View to display information for that deployment.
The View Pre/Post Configuration Snapshot dialog box displays details of the selected
configuration.
NOTE
You can view only one snapshot at a time.
• Device — The IP address of the product.
• Date — The date and time when deployment was initiated.
• Device Configuration list — Displays the name of the deployed configuration, and can
come from any one of the following:
 Payload configuration name, saved using the Configuration Wizard.
 MAC filter configuration name.
 VLAN configuration name.
 Manual Configuration Snapshot Retrieval, which identifies a configuration retrieved by
clicking the Save Snapshot button.
 INTERNAL:user-date&time, which indicates a payload deployment with pre- or
post-snapshot properties, but the payload was not saved.
• Snapshot Template — The name of the snapshot template used for the pre- or
post-snapshot deployment.
