CISCO CONFIGURATION MANAGER

Networks of any size are in a constant state of flux. Any of the engineers responsible for the network can change the configuration of the switches and routers at any time. Traditionally if the changes weren’t successful to Cisco routers and switches configurations then Network Administrators need to make manual changes remembering and documenting what has been changed. The best option would be to undo the changes users have made manually making continuous effort of trying to remember the reason and content for changes. Contrast the previous situation with a network configuration management system; Network Administrators can perform such tasks automatically without any hassle. It also helps in minimizing human error.

Cisco Config Manager allows user to control changes to the configuration of Cisco Routers and Switches. It is a complete Cisco configuration management utility for Cisco Routers and Switches. It helps users to make the changes without remembering to document what has been changed.

making changes to the configuration of a device, then roll the changes back to a previous configuration if the changes weren’t successful because this tool allows the user to change or compare configurations but also creates a date-wise backup each time a configuration is uploaded into a device. Cisco Config Manager allows the user to have a complete trail of changes made on each router with dates to fulfill compliance requirements. The user can also use TFTP server provided with this utility to save configurations.

Policy and control enforcement also becomes handy with the enforcement of network configuration management through Cisco Config Manager. It is extremely useful for large networks with numerous Cisco Routers and Switches. Periodic manual configuration updates becomes hassle and time consuming for users having multiple devices and large networks, especially if user wants to roll out the same configuration (with minor differences like the IP address) to multiple devices. Cisco Config Manager reduces percentage of errors through automated time saving &reducing the risk of errors.
