Usage Guidelines
When the cns config notify command is enabled, commands entered in configuration mode are detected.
If the all keyword is specified, the command is stored for future notification. If the diff keyword is
specified, the command is stored for future notification if the software determines that the command will
cause a configuration change. The diff keyword also allows the software to store information about the
command including previous configuration states, source of the change (for example, a telnet user), and
the time of configuration.
