Read changes from Firewalls

To manage a Cisco IOS device or SSH device, Security Cloud Control must have its own copy of the device configuration file. The device is onboarded the first time you allow Security Cloud Control to read and save its configuration file. When you check the configuration from the device, Security Cloud Control saves a new copy of the device configuration file and replaces the copy in its database. For more information, refer to Reading, Discarding, Checking for, and Deploying Configuration Changes.

For more information about detecting changes that were made directly to the Cisco IOS or SSH device outside of Security Cloud Control, refer to Check for Changes.

For more information on how to undo configuration changes that you have started to make on Security Cloud Control but have not deployed to the IOS or SSH device, refer to Discard Changes.
