WhatsConfigured enables effective management of one of the most critical assets on your network—device configurations. As a fully integrated plug-in for WhatsUp Gold, WhatsConfigured automates the key configuration and change management tasks required to maintain and control configuration files for networking devices, reducing the risk of network outages caused by misconfigured devices. Network managers can leverage this automated configuration to reduce the amount of time spent ensuring their network devices are configured correctly, freeing valuable time.
WhatsConfigured is built around an automated task execution engine that allows network managers to dynamically gather configuration data about their network devices through configuration tasks. These tasks can be scheduled to run on a regular basis or can be manually ran as needed to upload, download, and backup configuration files, manage device credentials, and much more. WhatsConfigured comes with several pre-defined configuration tasks with the option to create custom tasks. Additionally, WhatsConfigured works with the WhatsUp Gold Alert Center and can alert you on the success or failure of a task, or when changes are detected on a device.
With support for heterogeneous networks, WhatsConfigured provides secure SNMP, SSH and unsecure Telnet, SNMPv1, SNMPv2 or TFTP access, to download and store device configuration files in an independently secured repository, keeping them readily available for file compares and restoration on a device.
WhatsConfigured not only reduces the time and effort required to maintain device configurations and changes while providing increased security, compliance, and visibility, it also reduces the risk of costly network downtime.
