Bulk Configuration
The Bulk Configuration feature allows you to change the software
configuration of multiple devices in a single operation. The settings that
you wish to administer can be defined by creating a configuration
template to be applied to the devices during a configuration operation.
The devices or ports to which the configuration is being applied can be
specified by creating a device or port selection. You can save templates
and device or port selections to disk for later use, allowing flexible and
fast bulk configuration of your network.
For more information, see
“Bulk Configuration”
on
page 577
.
Backup, Restore and
Setup
The Backup facility allows you to store the configuration of your devices.
You can back up large numbers of devices and 3Com Network Director
will store them on your computer. The Restore facility allows you to select
which configuration to restore to your device. You must have previously
saved this configuration for the device. If you have a number of devices
with similar settings, you can use the Setup Wizard to deploy selected
setup configurations to those 3Com devices.
For more information, see
“Backing Up Device Configurations”
on
page 777
.
Agent Update
Agent Update allows you to update software on your 3Com devices if
you have a valid support contract. Agent Update also works in
conjunction with 3Com Network Director’s scheduling facility so that you
can schedule the updates to take place overnight and minimize the
impact on the network and, therefore, your users.
For more information, see
“Upgrading Device Software”
on
page 663
.
Traffic Prioritization
Many 3Com devices have traffic prioritization (or quality of service)
features. 3Com Network Director provides the Prioritize Network Traffic
Wizard to simplify the configuration of these devices. Using the wizard,
you can choose to prioritize or block specific servers or traffic types. To
provide an end-to-end quality of service, your configuration can be
applied to all supported 3Com devices.
