Unimus forum

Hello,

We are evaluating Unimus as direct replacement for SW NCM and I am running into one issue so far. When doing backups on Cisco switches with endpoint users it takes a show vlan brief which is fine. One issue is since ports continually go up and down all day it is reporting configuration changes due to the nature of these connections. It is starting to build up a large list of config backups which are unnecessary. I tried setting up a ignore filter using "line start with" then entered text "show vlan brief" , but it is still picking up the changes. This will be become a problem if we move from 5 device licenses to 200+ and get constant notifications of config changes. I believe I might have my syntax wrong somehow and should be an easy fix. Thanks!

Hi. Setting up that filter will just ignore that one line (the "show vlan brief" line), but not everything after it.
Here is how to set up a filter to ignore everything after that line: viewtopic.php?p=3462#p3462

Let us know if that works for you

I will plan on applying that today. Sounds like this will remove the output of show vlan br in the config backup or just stop notifying of diff changes? I like the idea of having it in the config backup for reference. Thanks!
