Network administrators who rely solely on a performance monitoring solution may encounter challenges when it comes to managing configuration changes, performing regular backups, and maintaining compliance. To address these concerns effectively, a network configuration and change management solution that encompasses all of these features is necessary.
ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager, which is the network configuration management add-on, is a solution that supports multiple vendors and manages changes and configurations for all network devices, including routers, switches, and firewalls.
With the network configuration management add-on, you can perform backups in three ways: manual/bulk backup, scheduled backup, and automated backup.
Real-time change management is facilitated by this network configuration management add-on, which includes real-time change notifications, role-based access control, label configurations, and color-coded configuration comparison.
Configlets, provided by network configuration management add-on, are automation script templates that can execute different tasks and correct security weaknesses within minutes.
