Case 1: Review the Changes

Using the Config Diff options, you can quickly view the changes made to the configurations. The Config Diff feature also allows you to deploy firewalls by any required parameters.

Config Diff gives you an overall picture of what has been added, modified, or deleted in the firewalls. It also shows the value of the parameters, before and after the configuration changes have been made.

For example, a specific user removed a device out of a template. The configurations that already existed for that device will remain unchanged. Later when the user applies another template on the top, the new configuration gets deployed to the firewall. You can easily review such changes with the help of the Config Diff feature.

When comparing two audit items, you can also view a side by side comparison in Full Diff.
