    You can compare the next files:

     

    /config/bigip.conf - Stores all configuration objects for managing local application traffic, such as virtual servers, load balancing pools, profiles, and SNATs.

     

    /config/bigip_base.conf - Stores the BIG-IP system network components.

     

    P.S. ucs file is an archive.

      @Satya,

       

      Lets assume you have config already saved, so its going to be /config/bigip.conf.

      Then on the tmos you make some changes but you dont hit save. So now if you run the above command, it will show you the comparison on the terminal itself with the running config. Like the diff command.

       

      #tmsh show sys config-diff /config/bigip.conf

       

      If you want you can compare two different files too.

       

      #tmsh show sys config-diff /config/bigip.conf /var/tmp/Pre-bigip.conf
