AOS-CX switches include a robust Configuration Checkpoint system that allows administrators to save snapshots of the configuration state. These checkpoints are stored in the switch ' s internal flash memory.

Understanding the Exhibit: The output shows several checkpoints.

Lab2_final: A user-created checkpoint.

startup-config: The current configuration that will be loaded on reboot.

CPC2024...: Automatic " System " checkpoints created by the switch during various configuration events or at scheduled intervals.

The " Diff " Operation: To investigate a missing configuration (like the missing device profile) without impacting the operational state of the switch, you use the checkpoint diff command. This command compares two configuration files and displays the specific lines that are present in one but missing in the other (marked with + and -).

Analyzing the Requirement: The user wants to validate the removal without changing the current config.

Option B (Correct): Executing checkpoint diff startup-config CPC20240401183236_Access-1_6300 (or another older checkpoint) will show exactly what was removed. This is a read-only comparison.

Why other options are incorrect:

Option A: show checkpoint only lists the metadata (name, date, version); it does not provide a content comparison.

Option C: This command would overwrite an existing checkpoint or create a new one, but it does not provide an analytical comparison of the differences.

Option D: checkpoint rollback is a destructive operation; it immediately applies the older configuration to the running state, which violates the requirement to not change the current configuration.
