Configuring Exclude Commands
You can list the commands that have to be excluded while comparing configuration. To do this select
Resource Manager Essentials > Admin > Config Mgmt > Archive Mgmt > Exclude Commands.
You can enter multiple commands separated by commas.
RME provides default exclude commands for some Device Categories.
For example, the default exclude commands for Router device category are,
end,exec-timeout,length,width,certificate,ntp clock-period
You can specify Exclude Commands at all these levels:
• Device Category (For example, Routers, Wireless, etc.)
• Device Family (For example, Cisco 1000 Series Routers, Cisco 1400 Series Routers, etc.)
• Device Type (For example, Cisco 1003 Router, Cisco 1401 Router, etc.)
While comparing configurations, if you have specified exclude commands in the Device Type, Device
Family and Device Category, these commands are excluded only at the Device Type level. The
commands in the Device Family and Device Category are not excluded.
Example 1:
If you have specified these commands at,
• Routers (Device Category) level
end,exec-timeout,length,width,certificate,ntp clock-period
• Cisco 1000 Series Routers (Device Family) level
