These are useful for virtual controllers, devices like service processors or port-forwarding of the GUI and other application ports. CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT fManaged Device OS Policies - Users can upload and define a standard OS image for a given managed device make and model in the Control Center to create an OS policy. When defined for a group in the Control Center inventory tree, this policy will automatically download the standard OS image for a given make and model from the Control Center to all Local Manager device ports in that inventory group and in its subgroups that match the make and model and store it as a named OS with the name "standard." The policy can be configured to alarm on ports that are configured with an Uplogix advanced driver that pull the OS from the managed device for the case where the current OS on the managed device does not match the standard OS defined in the policy for that managed device. fCisco Startup Config Recovery with Automatic OS update (OS Policies) - Users can define an OS policy for a Cisco IOS/ IOS-XE device. If that device is replaced, our Cisco advanced driver functionality will ensure that the new device is loaded with that last known good current startup configuration and that the device is running on defined standard OS for that Cisco make and model. fAutomatically Backup And Restore Cisco IOS VLAN Database - The Uplogix Cisco IOS advanced driver supports backing up the VLAN database for Cisco switches and restoring the VLAN database during a configuration recovery procedure (such as a switch replacement). The driver will automatically schedule a job to back up the VLAN database for a port that is configured on this release. A single or recurring job can be scheduled to backup the VLAN database on ports that were already configured to manage Cisco IOS switches. fAutomatically retrieve and store device OS - includes six named versions, the current, previous, and candidate versions per managed device fAutomatically retrieve and store device startup configuration files - includes five named versions, the current, previous, candidate and up to 19 archived versions per managed device fAutomatically retrieve and store device running configuration files - includes five named versions, the current, previous, candidate and up to 19 archived versions per managed device fSupport scheduled recurring jobs that automatically retrieve the current OS, startup and running configuration files per managed device

CONNECTIVITY OPTIONS
f
RS-232 – the most reliable dedicated access method. RJ-45 wired as DCE to connect over standard CAT-5 patch cables to
most networking equipment (adapters available)
f
Console server option – SSH or RFC2217 (Serial over Telnet) TCP socket connection to a console server port that is already
connected to a managed device
f
SSH or Telnet connection to managed device
– connect to device’s management interface over TCP sockets
f
Serial and TCP port forwarding back to the local workstation, enabling the use of vendor provided RS-232 tools and other
interfaces
f
HTTP(S) – ability to query an http interface to query web pages of devices; parse the results and trigger other HTTP(S) GET
and POST types
f
SSH – VTY Virtual Ports establish a secure connection using simply an SSH TCP port opposed to a dedicated serial or
ethernet
connection.
These are useful for virtual controllers, devices like service processors or port-forwarding of the GUI
and other application ports.
CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT
f
Managed Device OS Policies – Users can upload and define a standard OS image for a given managed device make and
model in the Control Center to create an OS policy. When defined for a group in the Control Center inventory tree, this
policy will automatically download the standard OS image for a given make and model from the Control Center to all Local
Manager device ports in that inventory group and in its subgroups that match the make and model and store it as a named
OS with the name “standard.” The policy can be configured to alarm on ports that are configured with an Uplogix advanced
driver that pull the OS from the managed device for the case where the current OS on the managed device does not match
the standard OS defined in the policy for that managed device.
f
Cisco Startup Config Recovery with Automatic OS update (OS Policies) – Users can define an OS policy for a Cisco IOS/
IOS-XE device. If that device is replaced, our Cisco advanced driver functionality will ensure that the new device is loaded
with that last known good current startup configuration and that the device is running on defined standard OS for that Cisco
make and model.
f
Automatically Backup And Restore Cisco IOS VLAN Database – The Uplogix Cisco IOS advanced driver supports backing
up the VLAN database for Cisco switches and restoring the VLAN database during a configuration recovery procedure
(such as a switch replacement). The driver will automatically schedule a job to back up the VLAN database for a port that
is configured on this release. A single or recurring job can be scheduled to backup the VLAN database on ports that were
already configured to manage Cisco IOS switches.
f
Automatically retrieve and store device OS – includes six named versions, the current, previous, and candidate versions per
managed device
f
Automatically retrieve and store device startup configuration files – includes five named versions, the current, previous,
candidate and up to 19 archived versions per managed device
f
Automatically retrieve and store device running configuration files – includes five named versions, the current, previous,
candidate and up to 19 archived versions per managed device
f
Support scheduled recurring jobs that automatically retrieve the current OS, startup and running configuration files per
managed device
