Part 12 – MultiConfig for Live Operation

Maximize the Efficiency of Your Network with MultiConfig

Are you tired of spending hours configuring devices one by one? Are you looking for a way to maintain network security and backup device configurations without causing disruption to live operation? Look no further than MultiConfig – a core component of Industrial HiVision that has a myriad of benefits for both network installation and day-to-day operation.

In this informative video, we’ll explore the power of MultiConfig beyond network installation. Security is a top priority when it comes to network operation, and MultiConfig makes it easy to change passwords regularly and roll out security patches when needed across multiple devices simultaneously. Backing up device configurations to an external storage medium is also a basic operational requirement, and MultiConfig provides the easiest way to backup all your devices simultaneously, ensuring you have copies of your device configuration files for network documentation.

But what about rebooting multiple devices simultaneously in the case of an emergency? A planned reboot after a firmware upgrade doesn’t present a problem, but unplanned reboots can cause massive disruption to live operation and entail a high degree of risk. The MultiConfig consecutive reboot function reduces disruption and minimizes risk by rebooting the switches one after the other. If a switch does not reboot, the process stops, giving you peace of mind during emergency maintenance on your network.

Consistent configuration across switches is essential for stable network operation and maximum uptime. The MultiConfig Consistency Check provides you with a fast and easy solution to analyze configurations across devices, making it easy to identify any rogue values. This simple technique will save you valuable time when investigating a network anomaly.

Even the most professional networks may need technical support at some time. Hirschmann is proud to offer direct technical support to our customers, and our technicians may ask you for information about your network, such as network topology, device configuration, and log files. The MultiConfig Save Support Information option enables you to quickly and stress-free collect all the required support information from your switches to your Industrial HiVision PC, ready to be forwarded to our help desk for speedy diagnostics.
