Comparing your network device configurations can improve your network performance and aid in troubleshooting issues and improving security. With SolarWinds® Kiwi CatTools® automated network device config backups, you can easily compare a device’s running config to the last stored config or the startup config. You can then analyze the comparison to pinpoint issues in your current configuration and find areas for improvement as part of the change management process.
There are many benefits to comparing network configs. From finding room for improvement to increasing security, comparing configs is an essential part of network change management.
With SolarWinds Kiwi CatTools, you can more easily perform two different types of comparisons. You can compare your running and startup configs, or you can compare your current device config with the most recent backup. From there, you can view and analyze the results on your console or generate a report.
Configuration changes are essential for maintaining the performance of your network and systems, but when they’re bad—because the changes are unauthorized or fail for other reasons—improper configuration changes can create security vulnerabilities on your network.
To provide you with crucial visibility into config changes, SolarWinds Kiwi CatTools is designed to automatically send you email alerts whenever a change is detected, so you can quickly address unwanted changes and maintain network security.
With the Kiwi CatTools solution, you can easily compare any previous configuration backups of a device from the GUI. Under the Compare tab, select the two different configuration files you want to compare, and Kiwi CatTools displays a side-by-side comparison with highlighted differences for you. All config changes are in red and all new additions are in green. If you have regular config backups in place, Kiwi CatTools can automatically compare the new backup with the previous one and notify you about changes via email.
SolarWinds Kiwi CatTools allows you to deploy configuration changes to multiple devices across your network at the same time, further simplifying your network device management tasks. The software uses a TFTP server to allow you to quickly roll back configuration changes to prior, trusted settings, helping prevent security misconfigurations. A robust notification system keeps admins informed of potential issues and helps track unauthorized configuration changes and anomalous behavior, giving you the actionable intelligence you need to start troubleshooting.
Affordable and lightweight, Kiwi CatTools network management capabilities can provide assurance and security when you’re troubleshooting stubborn end-user problems or confirming the efficacy of your work. When a configuration change creates issues, the Kiwi CatTools solution allows you to isolate the changes between devices and configuration versions to quickly determine the cause of the problem. It allows you to schedule regular backups of device configurations, so you’re not left stranded if configurations are changed without authorization or another issue arises.
Kiwi CatTools is built to provide you with efficient solutions that allow you to manage your network components more flexibly and effectively. It’s simple and straightforward to learn, easy and powerful to use, and a valuable tool for improving the efficiency of your network device management operations.
