The TraverseNetwork Configuration Manager (NCM) provides backup and restoration of configurations for routers, switches, firewalls, and other network devices. It allows you to compare configurations between devices and over time, detect unauthorized configuration changes, and correlate outages with specific changes. You can also use NCM to perform live routing table lookups, port scans, traceroutes, and other network data queries.
The NCM module has the following top level menu items:
Configuration
Devices: displays a summary of all the devices being backed up and allows you to display, backup and compare configurations for a device.
Config Search: Search for any string in a configuration file and display matching devices.
Tools
Switch Port Search: show where the specified IP address or MAC address is connected (which device and which port)
IP Search: search for the IP address in the routers
Data Query: You can select a device and query it in real time for data such as ARP table, routing table, VLAN member ports, etc.
Settings
Credentials: for creating groups of devices and the authentication needed to query these groups of devices.
Protocols:specify how to query these network devices for configuration information (snmp, ssh, telnet, etc)
