CAPABILITIES

Complete Control of Network Configuration Changes

Stop firefighting network outages caused by bad configs. Catch issues before they impact users with our network change management software. Watch demo: Manual Search & Diff

  • Instant Change Alerts

    Know the moment any device or configuration changes with real-time Syslogs and trap integration.

  • Rollback and Version Control

    Automatically version every config. Restore stable configurations instantly if a change breaks the network.

  • Config Drift Detection

    Identify unauthorised or accidental deviations from your Golden Image baselines quickly.

  • Audit-Ready Compliance

    Track who changed what, when and why with rConfig's network security capability. Export logs for SOC2, HIPAA and PCI DSS compliance.

BUILT FOR SCALE

Configuration Change Management for Critical Infrastructure

Modern networks are complex. rConfig simplifies management by automating the detection and remediation of configuration issues across multi-vendor environments, following ITIL change management principles to keep every change controlled and accountable.

  • Real-Time Scanning

    Continuous monitoring for Syslog and SNMP Traps.

  • Drift Detection Engine

    Automated comparison against defined policy baselines, per NIST SP 800-128

  • Side-by-Side Comparison

    Visual diffs showing exactly lines added, removed, or modified.

  • Secure Audit Trail

    Immutable logs of every detected change for forensic analysis.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is network change management in enterprise IT environments?

Network change management is the process of planning, validating, implementing and tracking configuration changes across network infrastructure. It reduces operational risk while maintaining security, compliance and service availability.

What are the five types of network management in enterprise infrastructure?

The five functional areas are Fault Management, Configuration Management, Accounting Management, Performance Management and Security Management (FCAPS). Together, they provide a framework for managing complex enterprise networks.

How does real-time change detection work?

rConfig uses a combination of Syslog/SNMP trap listeners to detect change events instantly, triggering a configuration download to compare against the previous version.

Can I roll back after an unauthorised change?

Yes. rConfig stores versioned history of all configurations. You can select a previous stable version and push it back to the device immediately.

Does rConfig detect drift automatically?

Absolutely. We schedule compliance checks against your 'Golden Image' or policy definitions, often benchmarked against CIS Controls, and alert you immediately if a device drifts from that standard.

Are audit logs exportable for compliance?

Yes, all activity logs are stored immutably and can be exported in various formats (PDF, CSV) to satisfy auditors for PCI DSS, HIPAA and more.

Does this work across multi-vendor environments?

rConfig is vendor-agnostic, supporting Cisco, Juniper, HP, Dell, Fortinet, Palo Alto and hundreds of other vendors out of the box.
