Config Change Filter
You can use this option to enable or disable VLAN Change audit filtering. When there is a change to the
device configuration, a change record is created. By default, the VLAN change audit record is created
for those devices that have a VLAN configuration.
To enable or disable the VLAN Change Audit Filter option:
Step 1 Select Resource Manager Essentials > Admin > Change Audit > Config Change Filter
The Config Change Filter dialog box appears.
Step 2 Check or uncheck the Enable VLAN Change Audit Filter option.
• Check Enable vlan Change Audit Filter, if you do not want the change audit record to be created
for devices that have a VLAN configuration.
• Uncheck Enable vlan Change Audit Filter, if you want the change audit record to be created for
devices that have VLAN configuration. By default, this option is unchecked.
Step 3 Click either Apply to apply the option or click Cancel to discard the changes.
Defining Exception Periods
An Exception period is a time you specify when no network changes should occur. This period does not
prevent you from making any changes in your network. The set of Exception periods is known as an
Exception profile.
You can have only one Exception period for a day.
You perform the following tasks for Exception profiles:
