Install firewall
Should we install an extra firewall on our ISP provided router.
- Apr 30, 2020
Hi msi
Thank you for your message, you are right we don't have this command, as of yet. Good input, and (coincidence) we are working on such a new way of comparing a running config with the startup config (and also the backup config saved elsewhere in the flash). There is no ETA yet, still experiment as I speak, we may use other forms of commands/interface for it.
For now, the solution would be the following:
- Copy out ‘startup.cfg’ to your PC
- Copy ‘running.cfg’ to ‘backup.cfg’ on the switch
- Copy out ‘backup.cfg’ to your PC as ‘running.cfg’
- Then use Notepad++ to compare startup.cgf and backup.cfg on your PC
Notepad++ is a great tool that allows just that
(copy from the internet below)
Compare Two Files Using Notepad++
Begin by opening the Plugin Manager from the Plugins menu: Next select the Compare plugin and click Install: Now open both of the files you would like to compare as two separate tabs in Notepad++. Then from the Plugins menu select Compare -> Compare (or use the shortcut Alt+D)
I hope this helps,
Regards

If you will deploy another firewall router behind your existing router provided by your ISP, you will have a Double NAT scenario. To know more about Double NAT, access the article below:
