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.

Motadata AIOps introduces a robust solution in the form of Network Configuration Management (NCM). Tailored to address the complexities of managing diverse devices, NCM emerges as a specialized module designed to handle configuration changes efficiently. This module empowers network administrators, providing a centralized hub for effective device management in the face of constant challenges.

The Challenge​

In large organizations, managing constant configuration changes is a real struggle. Administators need to maintain proper version control, making sure configurations meet the set standards set in a organisation. Even small deviations can lead to big problems, and handling configurations manually takes a lot of time and is prone to human errors.

For a network infrastructure with multiple vendor setup , sticking to the organization's established standards becomes not only important but extremely difficult. This is where NCM comes in as a crucial tool, making sure configurations smoothly matches the established configuration baseline. This is vital for keeping everything consistent, lowering risks, and building a strong and dependable network infrastructure.

The Solution: Motadata AIOps NCM​

Motadata AIOps introduces the Network Configuration Manager, a powerful solution crafted to tackle these challenges head-on. With NCM, administrators unlock efficient ways to handle configuration changes by automating backup and restoration processes while implementing robust version control mechanisms.

Configuration Management​

NCM streamlines the handling of configuration changes, offering a centralized platform to manage devices efficiently. Administrators can easily add, remove, and handle configuration changes across the network. Whether dealing with routers, switches, or core infrastructure components, NCM provides a centralized platform for effective device management.

In a world of diverse vendors, NCM serves as a unifying platform, simplifying the management of configurations across different devices. It streamlines the complexities associated with multi-vendor environments, ensuring a consistent approach to configuration management.

Efficient Backup and Restore​

Scheduled backups, both locally and externally, offer a safety net for configuration files. NCM enables administrators to effortlessly back up the running config and startup config files of network devices. In case of discrepancies, administrators can swiftly restore configurations to a desired state, ensuring data integrity and network resilience.

Precise Comparison and Synchronization of Network Device Configuration​

NCM facilitates detailed comparison of startup and running configurations, highlighting differences. Administrators can easily identify any discrepancies and synchronize configurations to maintain harmony across devices. This precise approach minimizes the risk of inconsistencies in network configurations.

Version Control​

Ensure accountability and mitigate risks by implementing version control for configurations. NCM allows administrators to roll back to previous versions if needed, providing a safety net for configuration changes.

Adherence to Standards​

NCM ensures strict adherence to organizational configuration standards, promoting consistency and reducing the likelihood of configuration-related issues. By providing a standardized approach, NCM enhances network security and stability.

Automation​

Automate repetitive tasks associated with configuration management, reducing the likelihood of human errors and enhancing operational efficiency. NCM simplifies complex tasks, improving overall network management.

Motadata AIOps NCM emerges as a pivotal module, empowering network administrators to navigate the complexities of configuration management effectively. From preventing adverse effects of configuration changes to enabling quick recovery, NCM establishes a proactive and robust approach to network configuration. This comprehensive solution ensures efficient network configuration management and enhances overall network security.
