1. A method of managing configuration of a networking device, the method comprising:
obtaining one or more files associated with one or more graphical user interface (GUI) displays associated with a web application for configuring the networking device, wherein the one or more files are maintained in a data storage of the networking device;
receiving, at the networking device, a request to access the web application; and
in response to the request:
determining a representative value indicative of a current state of the one or more files as a function of the current state of the one or more files;
obtaining a reference value for the one or more files, wherein the reference value reflects a validated state of the one or more files;
enabling execution of the web application by the networking device using the one or more files to generate one or more GUI elements of the one or more GUI displays associated with the web application when the representative value matches the reference value; and
when the representative value is different from the reference value, preventing execution of the web application using the one or more files.
