Introduction

Network Configuration Manager (NCM) is a management application that
provides centralized configuration and system management capabilities for a
multi-BCM network. NCM automates data backups and supports efficient
distribution of common files. Common configuration tasks can be automated by
scheduling optimized work flows. With NCM, bulk distribution of BCM software
patches becomes a simple, efficient, and automated process.
This release of NCM for BCM3.7 enables you to update your existing NCM3.6
installation to add support for BCM3.7 systems, in addition to those BCM systems
already supported by NCM3.6.
This chapter provides the following information:

New features

The NCM for BCM3.7 software has added the ability to perform configuration
