NetSight® Inventory Manager

System-Level Inventory and Change Management

NetSight Inventory Manager is a multidevice management application, which provides system-level firmware, configuration and hardware cataloging information allowing network managers to inventory and change-manage the components and configuration of their Enterasys network. NetSight Inventory Manager enables users to take advantage of the enhanced features of Enterasys hardware and manage all Enterasys infrastructure components cohesively as a system, as well as maintain an organized central database for data collection and historic information reporting.

Configuration tracking is accomplished by combining the configuration save/restore feature of Enterasys network devices with the control-like change management built into NetSight Inventory Manager. With this unique change-tracking philosophy, Inventory Manager can track configuration changes made by other NetSight applications, third-party management applications, or the local console (CLI) connection through a single unified interface. In addition, Inventory Manager can track the addition, removal and movement of chassis modules and the daughter cards installed within them. It records unique device identifiers, and detects, tracks and reports swapping of hardware modules and IP addresses during network upgrades, reconfigurations and troubleshooting events.

NetSight Inventory Manager is part of the NetSight network management system that provides command and control of a Secure Network™ infrastructure.
