DeviceExpert 5400 Release Notes

New Features / Enhancements

1. Configuration Changes PDF Report has been enhanced to provide information about the authorized and unauthorized changes
   
2. For discovering SNMP-enabled devices, DeviceExpert requires the SysObject ID of the devices. For certain devices, discovery alone is not supported for want of SysObject ID. Now, provision has been made to enable the users to find and add the SysObject ID of devices from the GUI itself and get discovery support in quick time.
   
3. Support for creating scheduled tasks for automatically synchronizing startup and running configurations at specified intervals.
   
4. 'Power Users'  have now been empowered to mark specific configuration changes (pertaining to the devices that are allotted to them) as 'Authorized' or 'UnAuthorized'.
   
5. Provision for editing the 'System Description' and 'System Location' details as part of editing device properties
   
6. New Vendors/Device Models Support:
   
   
• Citrix Netscalar
  
• Asperia (Hitachi )
• D-Link DES 3052 Switch
