As an infrastructure or network manager, setting up your extensive IT network can be challenging. You not only need to maintain the efficiency of your network devices, but also ensure that your entire system complies with your company’s regulations and policies to protect your network. This is why a robust network configuration management process and the right tools are crucial for your success.
Network Configuration Management refers to the process of organizing and controlling the settings and components of a computer network:
Network configuration management involves the continuous monitoring and application of configuration modifications to network device components such as IP addresses, software, default settings, and versions. The main objective of network configuration management is to guarantee the secure and efficient operation of your network.
Evaluating Network Configuration Management Tools in a different manner:
- Reporting is integrated with configuration management and monitoring, providing a list of devices being monitored and their current status.
- Some configuration management tools are vendor-specific, while others are multi-vendor like Entuity, offering a wider scope of support.
- Policy compliance monitoring involves checking configurations against company policies, alerting if required patterns are missing or if unauthorized patterns are present.
- Automated remediation and rollback of policy failures, NCCM includes detecting changes and fixing policy failures by rolling back to the last successful configuration, Changes that do not pass policy checks trigger an automatic rollback to the previous configuration
