Two additional applications, NetConfig and Config Editor, are available to edit configuration files. The NetConfig application allows you to save sets of commands and execute those commands on multiple devices at the same time. The Config Editor application can be used to edit any device configuration that is stored in the configuration archive, and then download the new configuration to the device. The new configuration is stored in the configuration archive and will also trigger a change record to be sent to Change Audit. Additional Configuration reports specific to active virtual private network (VPN) devices are also available. The NetConfig application provides a set of wizard-based templates that can be used to update the device configuration on multiple devices all at once. The devices must already be managed by Essentials. The new configuration will be stored in the archive for each device changed, and associated change records will be created.

The Network Show Command application accesses network devices in real time to display output for common show commands. This can help in troubleshooting by allowing you to display interface statistics, routing tables, and system information for selected devices.

Table 2-6 shows the archive-specific tasks you can accomplish with the Configuration Management application.
