Import and export features allow you to write current device configurations to files prior to provisioning the network with new data and restore the saved configurations if you need to perform a rollback. Configurations Operators can propagate multiple configuration files across a large network from a single template, allowing use of standardized configuration variables such as host names, IP addresses, and subnet masks. The template-building interface provides a mechanism for defining variables in a template file and their values in a companion data file. Configuration files can then be generated as a group, similar to a word processing application's mail-merge operation. The software can manage multiple discrete customer networks that use the same unregistered IP address ranges.
System administration allows user-based authentication.
Managers can organize elements into domains and sub-domains and assign permissions to each, based on user group. Operators must enter a password to obtain access to permitted domains. This is highly useful for networks that use the same infrastructure to provide services to multiple customers. Selected users can create, read, update, or delete selected data. Managers can limit visibility in sub-domains so that, for instance, a user can view a router configuration, but cannot change content within it.
