WinAgents HyperConf 5.3.0.210

WinAgents HyperConf 5.3.0.210 is a software that can dramatically increase your network reliability by automating the backup of your network settings and Cisco device configurations. See when, how and who was accessing your network devices. Cutting down administration costs by simplifying the configuration of your network devices with WinAgents HyperConf.

Most Failures Come from Inside.

•  According to Gartner, most cases of network failures are not the results of external attacks or hardware failures. Instead, up to 80% of all failures are direct results of misadministration and poor configuration. Tight security measures and corporate policies do not provide adequate protection against these kinds of threats. Tighter security meant to defend a network against system administrators can only lead to performance decrease, but won't provide any additional protection against human error.
• If a network device, such as a Cisco switch or router, fails, it can be replaced in a matter of hours according to the service contract with its original manufacturer. Restoring your network settings and making necessary adjustments and configuring the device takes extra time and slows down the recovery process, increasing your network downtime.

Backup your Network Configuration Automatically.

• The only way to protect the integrity of your network and to provide the highest possible uptime is, as always, backup of the configuration of networking devices performed on regular basis. Hardly anyone doubts the importance of regular data backups, but backups of network configuration and device settings are widely neglected.
• WinAgents HyperConf automates the process of making device backups. It makes scheduled backups of all network devices and provides additional protection against misconfiguration by backing up the configuration of device settings every time someone makes any changes. WinAgents HyperConf instantly detects configuration changes via the SYSLOG messages monitoring, and records when and who accessed the device and what exactly has been changed. In case of a problem you can easily roll back the device to its previously working configuration without the need to call a system administrator.

Fast Network Recovery and Reduced Downtime.

• Backup and restore your Cisco configuration automatically! Making timely backups of your device configurations makes recovery after a network failure a non-issue. Restoring a working configuration to a misconfigured device does not require much efforts. Even if your network device fails completely, and gets replaced with a new one, restoring its configuration from a backup is just a matter of minutes!

Compare Device Configurations.

• WinAgents HyperConf is not limited to configuration backup and restore. With its built-in configuration viewer you can easily track and compare changes made to the configurations of your network devices. With WinAgents HyperConf, you will always know when, how and who was configuring your network devices.

Simplify Network Configuration and better ACL Control.

• WinAgents HyperConf makes configuration changes easy for most types of network devices. The built-in configuration editor with syntax highlight allows viewing and changing device configurations easy. Making changes to Cisco configuration is especially easy thanks to the trademarked RouterTweak technology that allows editing device configuration visually.
• WinAgents HyperConf offers a fast and convenient alternative to controlling ACL lists by allowing you to add or remove ACL commands from anywhere on the list. WinAgents HyperConf is aware of the Cisco command line and supports Cisco ACL as well.

Highly Compatible.

• WinAgents HyperConf supports configuration management for all Cisco routers, switches and firewalls running IOS, PIXOS and CatOS operating systems. The list of supported equipment also includes network devices of HP, 3Com, Foundry, Nortel (Bay), NETGEAR, D-Link and other network hardware vendors.

Major Benefits:

1. Increases network security through tracking of all changes in network devices configurations and providing a network administrator with notifications about these changes;
2. Increases control through records when and who has changed the device configuration and what exactly has been changed;
3. Enables fast network recovery and reduces downtime by collecting information about configuration changes caused the problem and restoring backed-up configuration in case of device malfunction;
4. Saves time of network administrators by simplification and automation of common configuration tasks;
5. Cuts down costs since Winagents HyperConf eliminates the need to perform routine configuration management tasks manually.

Major Features:

1. Supports equipment of various network hardware vendors. Provides change and configuration management for devices of multiple vendors such as Cisco, HP, NetGear, Foundry, D-Link, 3Com SuperStack and Nortel (Bay Networks).
2. Tracks network configuration changes in real-time. Instantly detects configuration changes via the SYSLOG messages monitoring, records when and who accessed the device and what exactly has been changed.
3. Provides network administrators with e-mail notifications about configuration changes. WinAgents HyperConf sends e-mail notifications when it encounters a configuration change.
4. Performs backups of your network devices configurations. Makes backups by schedule, manually or when HyperConf encounters any changes in device configuration. Enables configuration restore in case of device misconfiguration or malfinction. In case of a problem you can easily roll back the device to its previously working configuration.
5. Batch commands execution on multiple devices at the same time. Using the batch scripting engine you can roll out a configuration change to multiple devices at the same time.
   Side-by-side comparison of network devices configurations. You can examine changes by comparison of different configuration versions. The built-in configuration viewer highlights any differences in relevant colors.
6. Powerful tools for easy and fast configuration editing. WinAgents HyperConf includes a text editor with syntax highlighting which enables configuration transfer to and from a device. The program also includes a visual configuration editor implementing the RouterTweakTM technology. The RouterTweakTM technbology allows you to edit devices configuraitons much faster than when using a standard command-line interface (CLI).
7. Has friendly user interface;
8. Supports industry-standard access protocols such as HTTP, TELNET, SNMP, SSH and TFTP;
9. Enables easy setup of HyperConf device catalog using SNMP Discovery;
10. Unifies authentication settings for access to multiple devices using Connection Profiles;
11. Contains an embedded SYSLOG console;
12. Maintains an operations log which keeps detailed records of all actions performed on devices.

Enhancements:

1. Implemented support of Fortinet FortiGate and SonicWall devices; improved performance of operations log;
2. Fixed problems when copy configuration from Cisco devices to TFTP server ("%Error reading (Not configured.)"), with TFTP READ requests handling in TFTP server core...

System Requirements:

1.  Intel P4;
2. 512MB RAM;
3. Free disk space: 200 MB;
4. Platform: Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista
