Working with Devices

Note that if you edit interfaces and reapply a device policy, Snort restarts for all 

interface instances on the device, not just those that you edited.

You can apply device changes from the Device Management page or from 

the Interfaces tab of the appliance editor.

To apply changes to the device:

: Admin/Network Admin

1. Select Devices > Device Management.

The Device Management page appears.

2. Next to the device where you want to apply changes, click the apply icon ( ). 
3. When prompted, click Apply.

The device changes are applied.

Optionally, from the Apply Device Changes dialog box, click View 

Changes. The Device Management Revision Comparison Report page appears 

in a new browser window. For more information, see

Using the Device Management Revision Comparison Report

A device management comparison report allows you to view the changes you 

have made to an appliance before you apply them. The report displays all 

differences between the current appliance configuration and the proposed 

appliance configuration. This gives you an opportunity to discover any potential 

configuration errors.

To compare appliance changes before applying them:

: Admin/Network Admin

1. Select Devices > Device Management.

The Device Management page appears.

2. Next to the appliance where you want to apply changes, click the apply icon 

( ).
The Apply Device Changes pop-up window appears. Note that the appliance 

must have unapplied changes or the apply icon remains disabled.
