Marking a configuration as trusted

For configuration revision control, the Mark as Trusted action enables authorized users to designate for a device the trusted (that is, desired state) Running and Startup configurations. For recommendations on managing the trusted configuration see Maintaining the trusted configuration. The trusted configuration acts as a snapshot with which future configuration changes are compared, monitored, audited, and reported. The Dashboard displays network-wide configuration discrepancies. A discrepancy occurs when one or more of the following conditions exist:

• Current Running configuration is different from the Startup configuration
• Current Running configuration is different from its Trusted Running configuration
• Current Startup configuration is different from its Trusted Startup configuration
• Current Running configuration OS version is different from its Trusted Running OS version

To run the Mark As Trusted action

1. On the Add Job page, select Add Action > Span Actions > Mark As Trusted.
   
   

2. Enter information in the following fields:

   The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
   This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that it's on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it.
   

3. Click OK to add the action to the job.
