3.3 Configuration Signature

3.3 Configuration Signature
The device assigns a checksum or signature to identify a configuration in a
way that changes to a configuration are visible. Every time you save a
configuration, the device generates a random sequence of numbers and/or
letters for the configuration signature. This signature changes every time you
change the configuration. Each configuration has a unique identifier.
The device stores the random generated signature with the configuration to
verify that the device maintained the configuration after a reboot.
The signature consists of a configuration file checksum and a random
number. The device checks the signature to verify that it is different from
previous generated numbers.
