Network Provisioning
Overview
From the Network Provision view of Network Infrastructure Manager you can display
and modify device configurations. These configurations may represent the actual
configurations on your network, modified configurations that you intend to deploy to
your network, or configurations for devices that do not currently exist in your network.
You can copy the configuration of an existing device and modify it, and you can save
typical configurations that you use in your network as a template to aid in adding
additional devices.
At any time during the process of modifying the network configurations in Network
Provision view, you may save your work without affecting the current network, to
continue modifying later, or to allow others to review the changes before they are
implemented. You can also back out the changes by reverting to the server state, so the
Network Provision view only shows what is currently committed to the server.
Once you have modified the configurations in the view, you can apply the changes
nearly simultaneously to the devices in your network by committing the changes to the
ISM Provision server. Before changes are committed, or at any time you choose during
the editing process, the changes are checked against a set of rules to detect errors like
duplicate IP addresses, or unsupported module combinations.
