Running and Startup Config Mismatch due to RSA Keys Cisco SF302

netapprentice66

The running and startup configs are currently mismatched on my Cisco SF302 switches in Solarwinds. It appears to be due to the RSA private/public keys being present in the startup config and not in the running config. I am wondering if there is anyway to get Solarwinds to ignore this difference, I haven't been able to find a way to do it. I currently have ignore certificate and ignore crypto lines comparisons turned on. I have included a screenshot of a section of the comparison report as well as what comparison options I have turned on presently.

Thanks for the info. That got me pointed in the right direction.

I was able to solve this by creating some new comparison criteria. I ended up having to create three new criteria. I have included screenshots of them. The key thing I was missing was checking the Is Block box, this allows for ignoring everything between two lines. The first two patterns I added were for the crypto and SSH client certificates. The final criteria was just to ignore the single period that is found between the certificates.
