Possible to Compare and Diff configuration by ucs files

Hello Alvin Ng,

There are another methods to compare configs, but they are more rudimentary.

1. Compare SCF files using TMSH

# Extract intial config
tmsh save sys config file /shared/tmp/initial_config.scf no-passphrase
# Extract final config
tmsh save sys config file /shared/tmp/final_config.scf no-passphrase
# Compare both files
tmsh show sys config-diff /shared/tmp/initial_config.scf /shared/tmp/final_config.scf | egrep -e "\s{3}\|\s{3}" -e "[<]$" -e "^\s*[>]"

2. Similar to the previous command, you can use diff to compare both bigip.conf files

# First, extract the bigip.conf file from both UCS
# Compare both files
diff /shared/tmp/initial_bigip.conf /shared/tmp/final_bigip.conf | egrep -e "\s{3}\|\s{3}" -e "[<]$" -e "^\s*[>]"

3. You can also use Notepad++ to compare them, from my experience, better compare feature than diff.

Hope this helps.
