Description

Network Configuration Manager (NCM) is a multi-vendor solution for network configuration management (NCCM), which can be used to manage switches, routers, firewalls, and other devices. NCM automates and takes complete control of the entire device configuration management life cycle. You can schedule device configuration backups, track user activities, spot changes, and compare configuration versions all from one central web GUI. You can monitor configuration changes, receive instant notifications, and prevent unauthorized modifications to keep your network environment safe, stable, and compliant. Standard practices and policies should be established. Device configurations should be checked for violations. Then, you can quickly apply corrective measures to ensure compliance. Automate repetitive, time-consuming configuration management tasks. Also, centrally apply configuration changes to devices.
