Baselining Switch Interface Config

We have a number of Cisco 9300 switches in our Access layer that have extensive 802.1x configuration. Is a way using the baseline tool to ensure that ALL of the access ports on a switch have the exact same configuration?

Currently, we have only the non-interface config commands in our baselines, but after a change this weekend, interfaces lacking proper configuration bit us in the a$$.

Thanks in advance!

I think that with a Policy rule you would need to include ALL the interface configurations, so...

Interface0/1

description Access Port

802.1x rule1

802.1x rule 2

Interface0/2

description Access Port

802.1x rule1

802.1x rule 2

...

etc. If the policy rule was just for the 802.1x configurations, once it saw it on any interface, I think it would think the configs are good because the "rules are in there". I'd have to play around to be perfectly sure, but it may be one big rule with all the interfaces, or 24-48 individual rules for each interface, that you could then apply to every switch.
