4.1.3. Configuration Management
Configuration Types:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Running | Currently active configuration |
| Startup/Saved | Configuration loaded at boot |
| Backup | Stored copy for recovery—keep it encrypted, access-controlled, and off the device |
| Baseline/Golden | Approved standard configuration |
Configuration Drift: When running configuration diverges from baseline. Detecting drift requires comparing production configs against approved baselines—differences indicate unauthorized changes or incomplete deployments.
