Keeping device configurations updated manually can be challenging. With SolarWinds® Kiwi CatTools®, you can simplify your configuration management process using the built-in TFTP server to apply configuration files to multiple devices at once. You can also schedule bulk or individual configuration changes, so they don’t interrupt end users, and revert to old configurations with ease if a problem arises with a new config.
Keeping your network running and secure in the face of potentially problematic configuration changes can require reverting back to former, good configs. With SolarWinds Kiwi® CatTools, those old configs are readily available thanks to automated configuration backups. You can schedule taking backups for whatever intervals you want—even making different schedules for different devices—so you always have a recent config to turn to if you need it.
Increase your security and performance with the help of email alerts on configuration changes. SolarWinds Kiwi CatTools is designed to constantly monitor your network for configuration changes and can automatically generate email alerts when it detects a possible issue.
With Kiwi CatTools, you can customize your alerts for streamlined network management, picking which events you want to be alerted on and who should get the alerts. These network alerts can also connect the recipient to information about the triggering event, so troubleshooting can happen faster.
Network management is the process of setting up and administering a network and troubleshooting issues that come up. Network management is designed to help ensure the IT side of a business is set up sensibly and resiliently—offering high performance while minimizing disruptions and security issues.
Network management software helps automate critical network management tasks, like network device configuration, to help lessen and streamline workloads.
One of the core responsibilities of a quality network management tool is configuration management, which defines the network’s overall operation, flow, and control. Configurations are needed when each element of a network is first installed and to maintain and even optimize performance in most networks. Manually making all these updates to configurations can be a labor-intensive process and can also introduce problems to a network if something goes wrong.
Network management solutions are built to help simplify the process of making configuration changes by letting you make bulk configuration changes and letting you schedule changes whenever you want them, so they don’t interrupt normal business proceedings. Network management tools can also help you make sure the only configuration changes that occur and stay in place are authorized and successful.
Network management software works by automating key network management tasks. A network management tool can help automate and simplify the network configuration management process by making it easier to deploy configurations across a network, whether they’re individual or bulk configurations. This automation can help reduce the risk of manual errors that lead to fault configuration changes and interruptions for end users.
Network management software also offers tools to schedule automatic backups and automatically roll out configuration changes, either individually or in bulk, for multiple devices at a time. This saves time and effort for IT admins and reduces the chances of a manual error causing problems during either backups or configuration changes.
Network management systems are also designed to constantly monitor network devices for configuration changes. When a potentially suspicious or problematic change occurs, the software can send an alert to the proper network admins to ensure they’re aware of the issue. That way, they can act fast to determine whether there’s actually an issue, and if there is, they can begin troubleshooting a resolution right away.
Using network management software can also help ensure regular backups are taken, so you can more easily compare new configurations to old ones to help identify the root cause of a potential performance problem—and quickly revert to the last good configuration if a configuration change or update goes wrong.
Network management software can help you maintain network performance, reduce security risks, and simplify the configuration management process.
Configuration management is critical for organizations of any size. Without it, network performance can deteriorate, impacting end users and potentially causing a negative impact on the business.
In addition to simplifying the configuration change process, network management software can help increase network security. Bad or unauthorized configuration changes can make a network vulnerable to cyberattacks and create security vulnerabilities.
Through constantly monitoring the network for potentially problematic configuration changes, network management software is designed to help you more quickly detect possible risks. It can then automatically send alerts to the proper members of your team with detailed information about the troublesome configuration change, so they can revert to an old configuration if need be and begin troubleshooting a fix to the problem as soon as it’s detected.
Good network management software should help save you time and effort while improving your network performance and security. To do so, it should have several key features and capabilities:
SolarWinds Kiwi CatTools is a powerful network management software solution offering affordable network configuration management for business networks.
Kiwi CatTools is designed to make network management easier by detecting and alerting on network configuration changes, including potentially problematic changes. The tool is built to automatically send out customizable email alerts to the designated network administrators. Even after an alert is generated, Kiwi CatTools continues to collect information about the configuration change in question. Once you receive the alert, you can access uninterrupted data about the event that triggered the alert. This data can then help you get to the bottom of the issue quicker.
Beyond helping you protect the network from faulty configurations, Kiwi CatTools is also designed to make the configuration change process easier. The tool offers automated configuration backups and the ability to schedule both individual and bulk configuration changes. It can also store old, backed-up configuration change backups, so you have access to a complete configuration history. If you need to revert to an older configuration, you can easily find the last good configuration—even if it wasn’t the last configuration to be backed up.
Kiwi CatTools offers also native support for devices, including routers, firewalls, and switches, from dozens of manufacturers, so you only need to use one solution for your network configuration management needs.
