📄️ 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.
