Creating and Managing Baseline of Device Configuration Files
You can create a baseline device configuration and the device Junos (OS) version on the Network Director server. By creating a baseline configuration file for a device you define a reference point to save the device configuration and its OS version to a particular known state and later restore the configuration to that known state. You can select the devices at the scope level, custom grouping, or for individual devices and create baseline configuration files and images for all or for the selected devices. The baseline configuration file includes the entire configuration and image files. When you restore a device configuration, you restore both the baseline configuration file and the image of the file. However, restoring image is optional.
An alarm is triggered if there are any changes to the baseline configuration. The alarm contains the delta information for later reference. For example, when you add a new device an alarm of with minor severity is generated to inform user about the device addition. When you move a device from an unassigned category to a specific category, an alarm of major severity is generated.
To start baseline file management:
Click Deploy in the Network Director banner.
In the Tasks pane, select Baseline Management > Manage Baseline.
The Manage Device Baseline page opens in the main window.
This topic describes:
Selecting Baseline Management Options
From the Manage Device Baseline page, you can:
Create device baseline configuration files by clicking Baseline. See Baselining Device Configuration Files for more information.
Restore baselined device configuration files to devices by selecting devices and clicking Restore. See Restoring Baseline Device Configuration Files for more information.
View the baselined configuration files by selecting the device and clicking View Configuration File. See Viewing Baseline Configuration Files for more information.
Compare baseline device configuration files with current configuration files by selecting devices and clicking Compare With Current Config. See Comparing Baseline Configuration with Current Configuration for more information.
Delete baseline configuration files for devices by selecting devices and clicking Delete. See Deleting Baseline for more information.
Table 1 describes the information provided in the Manage Device Baseline table.
Table Column | Description |
---|---|
Device Name | Name of baseline device. |
Baseline Label | Name of the baseline configuration. |
Baseline Update Time | Date and time when the baseline configuration file for a device is last updated. |
Baseline State | Indicates whether the baseline configuration is same as or out of sync with the current configuration. |
Restoring Baseline Device Configuration Files
To restore the baseline configuration file and the OS image of devices:
Comparing Baseline Configuration with Current Configuration
To compare the baseline configuration with the current configuration:
Deleting Baseline
When you delete a baseline configuration file, all its corresponding versions are also deleted.
To delete baseline configuration file for a device:
Managing Baseline Management Jobs
Each time you create baseline configuration files, a baseline management job is also created.
To manage device configuration file management jobs:
Managing these jobs is similar to managing other types of jobs using the System mode. The advantage of accessing the jobs this way is that the jobs list shows only configuration file management jobs. See Managing Jobs for more information about managing jobs.
