Overview of Router Management

1-13

To access the Router Files Manager, begin at the main Site Manager window and

click on Files or select Tools➔Router Files Manager. For more information about

using the Router Files Manager, refer to Chapter 5.

Monitoring Changes to Router Conﬁguration Files

Two features are available for you to track changes to router conﬁguration ﬁles:

• The Report Generator tool

• The Audit Trail feature

The Report Generator tool translates the router’s binary conﬁguration ﬁle to an

ASCII ﬁle. You can use any standard text editor to view and print the ﬁle. You can

also use source-comparison utilities to compare one report with another to detect

conﬁguration changes. To access the Report Generator tool, select Tools➔Report

Generator from the Site Manager main window.

In organizations where network managers at branch locations share router

management responsibilities, central administrators can use audit trail logs to

monitor conﬁguration changes. An audit trail log is an ASCII ﬁle that describes

the changes made to a router conﬁguration ﬁle. Each router you audit has its own

audit trail log ﬁle. Whenever someone changes a router conﬁguration ﬁle, the

audit trail feature (if enabled for that router) appends the changes to the audit trail

log.

With audit trail logging enabled, when you conﬁgure the router in remote mode,

Site Manager does the following, once you save your conﬁguration changes:

• Transfers the conﬁguration ﬁle to the router, as usual

• Creates the audit trail log ﬁle (if it doesn’t already exist)

• Appends the conﬁguration changes to the audit trail log ﬁle

If you conﬁgure the router in dynamic mode, Site Manager does the following

each time an SNMP SET occurs:

• Updates the conﬁguration on the router.

• Logs the SET to the audit trail log ﬁle. Site Manager creates the audit trail log

ﬁle (if it does not already exist) and appends the changes to the ﬁle.

Note: The Audit Trail feature keeps track of router conﬁguration changes

made in remote mode or dynamic mode only. The feature does not track

changes made in local mode or those made using the Technician Interface.
