Router Management - Router Configuration Management Software
Improve reliability with automated router configuration management
Make wide-scale, routine changes in less time with router configuration management software
SolarWinds® Network Configuration Manager (NCM) is designed to save you time by helping you make wide-scale configuration changes using the available Configuration Templates. Each Configuration Template is device neutral and lets network engineers define what changes must be made. NCM then takes the parameters and directives from the template and creates a device-specific set of change commands. NCM also lets you review changes and schedule them for deployment. Templates are built to be user definable and reusable, making them ideal for making routine changes.

To understand router configuration management, which is an element of network configuration management focused on ensuring your router can effectively communicate with and support your network, it’s important to understand the role of network configuration management
Network configuration involves setup and configuration processes across software, hardware, and other supporting components or devices. Network configuration management is the continuous process of overseeing the setup and maintenance of all these components. It involves discovering devices, monitoring the status and configuration of devices, and maintaining the inventory.
Key elements of network configuration are:
- Software configuration
- Host configuration
- Router configuration
Router configuration and router management is essential for making sure your network is complete. Without it, your router can’t communicate with your other network components.
The basic steps of router configuration are:
- Enabling the router’s firewall and ensuring it’s secure
- Setting a Service Set Identifier, or SSID, for your wireless network, so it’s easier for users to locate it
- Setting the encryption for the network, which is known as the Wired Equivalent Privacy or WEP
For more experienced admins, router configuration can involve configuring the base stations, engaging in Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), and more.
Router configuration management, like network configuration management, is the ongoing process of overseeing and maintaining the configuration of routers. This includes making changes to configurations as needed and ensuring those changes are uniform across devices.
