How is my network supporting my business critical processes and applications?
Who changed what on the network and when?

Networks are in a permanent state of change. Keeping on top of what is happening is complicated and time consuming. StableNet's integrated automatic network and device discovery provides topology visualization and documentation that helps in the understanding and support of the IT infrastructure. You can use it to validate design guidelines and to better understand the network for future design, change, or troubleshooting.

The configuration management system discovers the network including all it's properties such as:

• All devices with their properties
• All physical and logical links such as VLANs
• All Layer 3 and Layer 2 VPNs
• All servers with the applications running on these servers

Further, the configuration management system maintains the current running configurations of all devices and a set number of previous running versions. This information can be used for troubleshooting and configuration or change audits.

Feature	Advantage	Benefit
User-defined discovery	Limits discovery to designated nodes	Allows focusing on devices of most interest. Less clutter leads to faster problem resolution
User-defined locations	Groups network devices into collections to fit business needs	Lets you focus on specific resources for faster problem resolution
Automatic configuration management	A complete audit trail of all configuration changes is available	Improves operational efficiency and reduces human errors
Periodically backup configurations and compare these backups with a reference. In case of differences, send a message to the administrator	Automate the backup process and security checks	Dramatically increase of the system security
