Overview

rConfig connects to network devices such as routers, switches and firewalls, backs up their running and startup configurations on a schedule, and keeps a full version history so you can see exactly what changed and when with side by side and inline diffs. It supports multiple vendors out of the box, including Cisco, Juniper, HP, Dell and Fortinet, with unlimited devices, categories, tags and reusable command templates, an upgraded multi term configuration search and a token authenticated REST API for scripting and integration.

It suits network and infrastructure teams who need a reliable, auditable record of every device configuration change without paying for a commercial NCM platform: change auditing, disaster recovery preparedness, compliance evidence and day to day configuration drift detection.

Why the cloudimg image

The cloudimg image rotates the database password, the application encryption key and the administrator password on first boot, unique to that instance, and the web service does not even start until this has completed, so there is never a window where a default or shared credential is reachable. It ships only the free, open edition, is kept fully patched at build time, and comes with a paired step by step deploy guide and 24/7 cloudimg support.
