CMI_diff command

Good day,

 

Can anyone please explain how to read the cmi_diff command output. Where does it indicate the difference between the devices in a device group?

 

Thanks

    Well its a python script located at /usr/local/bin/cmi_diff

     

    You can do a cat and see what the script does. But in overall, it only shows the diff configs I believe.

     

    (Eg : Hostnames a & b configured in device groups, they are different, its LSTs etc. And the master keys)

     

    Just observed, it displays output of both devices, one on the left < and the others on the right >. The same configs can used for comparison, but I guess its more of for F5 support cases. Aint gonna be much useful for normal engineers.
