What is Network Configuration Manager?

Network Configuration Manager is a web-based, multivendor network configuration and change management (NCCM) solution for switches, routers, firewalls, and more that enables network administrators to take total control of the entire device configuration management life cycle.

It serves as a secure repository for device configuration, helps continuously monitor changes, provides change notifications and reports, enables easy and safe recovery to trusted configurations, and helps automate all configuration management tasks.

Configuration Backup

Back up your configuration files and instantly recover from network mishaps.

Compliance Audit

Stay compliant with PCI, HIPAA, Cisco IOS, SOX, and custom policies.

Configuration change management

Improve visibility with live updates on changes made to device configurations.

Configuration Automation

Automate repetitive network operations, and apply configurations to multiple devices at once.

Configuration reports

Generate holistic reports and maintain detailed documentation on every configuration task.

 
 
 

How Network Configuration Manager adds value to Applications Manager

Some common concerns admins have while managing applications are performance issues or access loss for end users. This doesn't necessarily have to be an issue in the application layer; it could be a network issue where a faulty configuration change restricted access to certain IP addresses, causing inaccessibility to users. You can avoid such mishaps by quickly identifying and reverting faulty configuration changes. With Network Configuration Manager, you can

Back up configurations and minimize device downtime

With Network Configuration Manager, you can periodically back up configurations to use in the event of a sudden network outage, and immediately restore your devices by uploading these configurations.

Adhere to internal compliance policies and industry standards

Network Configuration Manager has a well-built compliance auditing system that helps you abide by industry standards such as HIPAA, SOX, PCI, and Cisco IOS. You can also create custom compliance policies and get detailed information on devices that are compliant and devices in violation.

Track configuration changes in real time

Network Configuration Manager offers robust change management policies to enable administrators to define the action to take when a configuration change is detected. The action could be anything: automatically rolling back changes, sending an email notification or triggering an alert to the network monitoring system are just a few examples

Automate bulk configuration changes

Network Configuration Manager helps you automate time-consuming, repetitive configuration tasks with command scripts called Configlets. Commands to enable or disable SNMP, upgrade firmware, change passwords, etc. can be applied in bulk to network configurations to save time and manual effort.

Identify potential firmware vulnerabilities.

Network Configuration Manager fetches firmware vulnerability data from the NIST, correlates it with your network devices, and provides a list of all the vulnerabilities in them. It also provides patch fixes for the vulnerabilities, which helps keep your network safe from attacks.

Analyze network problems with holistic reports

Network Configuration Manager provides reports on configuration changes, hardware details, user access, compliance, firmware and device inventory, and more to help quickly troubleshoot your network whenever a problem arises. 

You're in great company
