Usage Scenario
After a series of operations are performed, you can run the compare configuration command to compare whether the current configurations are identical with the next startup or a specified configuration file from the first line. The command output helps decide whether to save and set the current configurations as the next startup configuration file.
The command output respectively displays nine lines of the current configurations and the next startup or a specified configuration file from the line that contains differences. If the lines from the differences to the end of the configuration file are less than nine, the command displays the content till the end of the configuration file.
Precautions
The filename extension of the configuration file must be .cfg or .zip.
After this command is run once, only the first difference between the two configuration files is displayed. To compare all differences, modify the difference recognized to be the same and run the compare configuration command repeatedly.
