Make Cisco IOS Upgrades Easier
Save time by automating your Cisco IOS upgrades
Save time and get more done with a Cisco IOS upgrade tool
When you’re pressed just to make routine configuration changes, when do you find time to identify and upgrade outdated firmware?
SolarWinds® Network Configuration Manager (NCM) can help you find more hours in your day by automatically identifying vulnerabilities in production firmware and smoothly guiding you through the process of upgrading obsolete Cisco IOS images typically in minutes—not hours or days. Don’t let a lack of time cause you to sacrifice your network performance and security.
Know which devices to upgrade with automated vulnerability identification
It can be a challenge to know which devices have firmware vulnerabilities. You need to keep track of all firmware versions installed, along with every published CVE, to determine what firmware might be needed in your network.
NCM is designed to eliminate this manual work by automatically tracking and correlating firmware versions with CVEs published in the National Vulnerability Database. When a potential vulnerability is identified, NCM is designed to alert you and guide you through the Cisco firmware upgrade process.
Say goodbye to device bricking by reducing room for human error with a Cisco IOS upgrade tool
Human error is commonly responsible for network failures, and upgrading Cisco firmware can be tricky. It takes roughly 50 clicks to upgrade a device, and you must check if you have the right image on the target device, if there’s enough space, if there’s a backup, and more to ensure the upgrade is successful. Otherwise, you could end up bricking a router or switch.
Network Configuration Manager is built to help you take the stress out of firmware upgrades and configuration management. In about seven clicks, NCM can walk you through the steps to create a job to perform and execute managing network devices and configuration files across your target devices.

Cisco IOS software is designed for use on a wide range of hardware devices including switches and networking routers. It uses a simple command-line interface to govern a series of tools, called “trains,” that deliver Cisco software to specified platforms. The Cisco IOS operating system is a versatile resource for a variety of types of networking, thus making it the world’s leading network infrastructure solution.
Cisco incorporates an easy syntax, so you don’t have to be an experienced network admin to run commands. For example, Cisco IOS includes commands like “debug,” “show,” “copy,” and more—which make it easier for users to manage their operating systems. The software also uses a simple question mark (“?”) to let users access help features quickly and easily.
Since it was first developed in the 1980s, the Cisco IOS network operating system has undergone continuous development and improvement. From adapting to new network protocols to increasing hardware capabilities, these upgrades have been integral to creating the product that exists today.
