Details
The ‘Config state’ setting provides the detail of the current configuration which is saved or unsaved. Saved state indicates the current configuration of the system is matched with the saved configuration, while unsaved state indicates a configuration change has been made and it has not been saved to the configuration file.
Rationale:
The Unsaved state indicates that some configuration changes are made in the system. Administrator needs to review whether all changes are authorized or not by verifying configuration change logs.
