Configuration rules
A configuration rule is a logical expression built with configuration conditions and blocks. You can
use configuration rules to perform a configuration compliance check against a baseline (such as a
product’s backup configuration file).

Viewing a predefined configuration rule

You can view detailed information about predefined configuration rules on the Add Monitor or Edit
Monitor dialog box.
1. Select the predefined configuration rule you want to view.
The configuration rule displays in the Details area.
2. Review the configuration rule.
For specific detailed information about the predefined rules, refer to “Predefined configuration
rules” on page1116.

Predefined configuration rules

The Management application provides the following predefined configuration rules:
No Interface Shutdown Rule — The rule fails when any interface (10 Gbps port or LAG) on the
device shuts down. Table 93 defines the logical expressions for this rule.
Port Profile Interface Rule — The rule fails when any interface (10 Gbps port or LAG) on the
device does not have a port profile. Table 94 defines the logical expressions for this rule.
