Baseline Configurations
At certain moment of a network operation, a NOC team may decide that configuration of a specific device, a group of devices, or all devices in a network/zone is perfectly working for significant time and matches all compliance policies. Those configurations are normally backed up and marked as baseline configurations to indicate they are stable and error-free. Once subsequent change(s) in device configurations put network into unstable or inconsistent state, network administrators may want to restore configurations of one or more network devices to their baseline versions, bypassing automatic backups that were performed later.
Marking/Unmarking a Baseline Configuration
Individual configurations can be marked or unmarked as baselines when managing a historical configuration list. See Browsing and Managing Configurations for more information.
