📄️ Overview
In the complex world of modern network administration, overseeing the configuration of a diverse range of devices such as routers, switches, firewalls, and other core network infrastructure components poses a significant challenge. Managing these elements in a multi-vendor environment requires a holistic approach to network configuration management.
📄️ Adding Devices for Network Configuration Management
In Motadata AIOps, the process of adding devices for Network Configuration Management (NCM) is integrated with the discovery of the network device for monitoring. When you complete the discovery of a network device or a wireless device in Motadata AIOps, the device is not only configured as a Monitor but it is also setup in the NCM device inventory
📄️ NCM Device Inventory
In Motadata AIOps, the NCM Device Inventory serves as the central hub for managing and monitoring devices configured for Network Configuration Management (NCM). This inventory provides crucial information about network monitors setup in Motadata AIOps, offering administrators a comprehensive overview and control over their network configurations.
📄️ NCM Device Template
In the Device Template section, administrators can manage the configurations associated with NCM devices. Each NCM device is assigned a unique template based on its Object Identifier (OID). These templates serve as guidelines for executing backup, restore, and synchronisation operations on the startup and running configurations of network devices.
📄️ Macros and Prompt Commands for Custom Template
Introduction to Macros in NCM Device Template
📄️ Backup and Restore for NCM device
Efficient backup and restore processes are integral components of Network Configuration Management (NCM) in Motadata AIOps. This section outlines how administrators can schedule backups, attach storage profiles, and restore configurations for individual devices or perform bulk restores.
📄️ NCM Overview & Explorer
Explore the powerful features of the NCM Explorer, your centre for effective network configuration management. Designed to streamline Network Configuration Management operations and enhance visibility, the NCM Explorer brings your network devices into focus.
📄️ NCM Runbooks
NCM Runbooks in Motadata AIOps can be created by executing SSH Runbooks, enabling you to automate various tasks and streamline network configuration management. Runbooks allow you to achieve numerous use cases, such as changing the description of all interfaces, modifying VLANs on specific interfaces, enabling SNMP across all devices, and activating SNMP traps on all devices simultaneously.

📄️ Adding Firmware Upgrade Commands to a Device Template
Motadata AIOps provides a comprehensive solution for managing firmware upgrades on network devices. This feature enables you to define and execute a sequence of commands necessary to upgrade a device's firmware, ensuring enhanced performance and security. The commands are configured within the associated NCM device template, which dictates the entire firmware upgrade process. Below, we outline the steps involved in configuring firmware upgrade commands, followed by an example specific to upgrading the firmware of a Cisco device.
