SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Golden Configurations define the "desired state" for device configurations. They enable compliance checking, grading, and remediation of configuration drift across your network.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Trees/Versions/Nodes: manage hierarchical, versioned device configs with inheritance.
  • Config Specs & Parsers: define rules and parsing for compliance checks.
  • Compliance Plans & Reports: run audits across devices and produce graded results.
  • Remediation: auto or manual remediation for drift violations.

Quick Start

Create a golden config tree, add a node path, assign devices, and run a compliance plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce golden configurations to prevent network configuration drift?

Golden configurations enforce device desired states to prevent drift by defining config specs, applying versioned trees with inheritance, and running automated compliance checks across multi-site networks.

What is a compliance plan for checking network device configurations?

A compliance plan audits network device configurations against golden config specs and parsers, producing graded reports that identify drift violations and traceable changes for remediation.

How do I manage multi-site device configurations with versioned inheritance?

You manage multi-site device configurations by creating a hierarchical golden config tree, adding node paths, assigning devices, and utilizing versioned inheritance to maintain consistent desired states.

Can I automate remediation for network configuration drift violations?

Yes, automated remediation for configuration drift is supported by defining remediation workflows that apply guardrails to automatically correct devices violating the established golden configuration compliance rules.

What do I need to set up guardrails for traceable network configuration changes?

To set up guardrails for traceable network configuration changes, you need configuration templates, config specs defining compliance rules, and remediation workflows to enforce the desired state.

Does this approach work for managing compliance across large multi-site environments?

Yes, this golden configuration approach explicitly supports multi-site environments by utilizing versioned config trees and automated compliance plans to scale drift prevention and remediation across distributed networks.
