Installation | Display whether a configuration file has been installed or is currently active. The installation time and date is displayed. N/A status indicates that a particular revision was not sent to the device. The typical situation is that the changes were part of a later revision that was sent out to the device. For example, you make some changes and commit the changes. Now you have a revision called ID1. Then you make more changes and commit the changes again. Then you have a revision called ID2, which also includes the changes you made in revision ID1. If you install revision ID2, then the status of revision ID1 becomes N/A. |
Comments | Display the comment added to this configuration file when you edit the file name. |
Diff icon | Show only the changes or differences between two versions of a configuration file. See “Comparing different configuration files” for more details. |
Delete icon | Delete this version from the repository. You cannot delete a version that is currently active on the FortiGate unit. |
Revert icon | Revert the current configuration to the selected revision. FortiManager tags the reverted configuration with a new ID number. For example, if you are currently running version 9 and revert to version 8, a new revision, version 10, is created at the top of the list. See “To revert to another configuration file:”. |
