SolarWinds NCM

Automated network configuration and change management software to standardize and protect your network. Before you monitor your network, configure it! A reliable and secure network starts with carefully planned, executed, and monitored network configuration and change management. SolarWinds® Network Configuration Manager (NCM) saves time and improves network reliability and security by managing configurations, changes, and compliance for routers, switches, and other network devices from Cisco® , Juniper® , HP® , Dell® , Brocade® , F5® Aruba® , Rukus® , and more.

Network Configuration Manager at a Glance

• Reduce configuration errors using standardized device configurations and deployment automation
• Improve network reliability using change monitoring, alerting, configuration backup, and rollback
• Manage change using workflows to approve updates, and safely delegate work to others with roles and permissions
• Improve network security and compliance by using NCM automation to identify IOS vulnerabilities, upgrade IOS firmware and audit device configs for NIST FISMA, DISA STIG, and DSS PCI compliance

Features

• Network Configuration and Change Management
• Configuration Change Automation
• Simplify and standardize recurring or complex configuration changes by creating a single vendor-neutral
• script that can be scheduled and executed on multiple devices.
• Configuration Backup and Restore
• Quickly recover from a configuration change or catastrophic device failure by always having the latest
• device configuration archives to restore.
• Change Monitoring
• Always know when a configuration has changed. An alert signals you to trace the change down to the
• device, and allows you to view what specific changes were made. Now NCM is integrated with Network
• Performance Monitor’s NetPathTM feature for detailed configuration changes when a configuration in the
• network service path has changed.
• Change Management
• Prevent mistakes by reviewing and approving proposed changes using integrated change approval workflow.
• Use role and access permissions to improve delegation and collaboration by controlling who can make
• changes to devices and configurations.
• IOS Vulnerability Scanning
• Improve network security by automatically identifying IOS vulnerabilities and easily upgrading IOS firmware.
• Compliance Assessment and Enforcement
• Always demonstrate compliance to critical security standards using out-of-the-box, automated compliance
• assessments and reports for DISA STIG, NIST FISMA, and PCI DSS. Use automated remediation scripts to
• correct out-of-compliance issues.
