Configuration Backup

NetLD allows you to use the functionality of the Net LineDancer config management tool.

In NetLD, obtaining the device configuration is called a “Configuration Backup”. For configuration backup, NetLD connects to the device via SSH or Telnet and retrieves the configuration using show commands, TFTP commands, etc.

Before performing a configuration backup, ensure the following requirements are met:

• A login username and password for logging into the device have been set.

Refer to the Credentials section to make sure the credentials are set.

• The model supports configuration backup by NetLD.

NCM (Network Configuration Management)

The Network Configuration Management (NCM) in NetLD operates as a configuration lifecycle management system designed for large-scale network automation. As a core platform feature, it emphasizes proactive configuration control, audit trails, and workflow-driven changes for both existing infrastructure and new device provisioning.

In NetLD, the NCM enables the following:

• Bulk configuration backups
• Standardized template deployments
• Automated compliance remediation across multi-vendor environments

Backup Status

After the backup, the status icon displayed on the left side of the device view will change. The icons used for backup status are as follows.

Icon	Status	Condition Description
	Backup complete	Configuration acquisition has completed successfully.
	Configuration mismatch	There are differences between the device’s running-config and startup-config. Doubleclick the icon to see the comparison results.
	Credential mismatch	You cannot log in with the registered credentials and the backup is failing. Please check your credential settings.
	Backup failure	Backup has failed for some reason.
	Backup not executed	No backups have been performed.
	Warning	This device violates a compliance policy with severity set to Warning.
	Error	This device violates a compliance policy with failure level set to Error.

Acquired Configuration

You can check the acquired configuration from the device details screen.

You can check the contents by double-clicking on the [Config] button.

Compare Configurations

You can compare the configurations by selecting two configurations and clicking the [Compare] button.

Multiple selections can be made by holding down the [Ctrl] key while selecting.

When you compare configurations, configuration differences are highlighted in color. Each type of difference is displayed in a different color, with red representing deleted parts, yellow representing changed parts, and green representing added parts.
