Question on ignoring lines when comparing files in NCM. I have read through several documents and the NCM admin guide and thought I had this understood but apparently I am way off. I am trying to ignore lines in a Cisco switch configs simply because it is not necessary to evaluate them. As an example I want to ignore these 2 lines...
! Last configuration change
! NVRAM config last
I found 2 rules int the NCM Compare Criteria that were not enabled that should do the trick. These rules were not enabled so I enabled them. Then when comparing 2 files I see the line that I do not want to compare are still being compared...
The criteria I see on these 2 rules is ^ ! Last The way I understand that is the ^ means start at the beginning of the line and it should match ! Last plus anything that follows until the end of the line. I have tried adding .* or even just a * but the lines is still not ignored...
any help on what I am not understanding would be appreciated or where to find some additional documentation.
