Introducing Vantage
This chapter introduces Vantage key features and Vantage requirements.
1.1 Key Features
The following are the key features of Vantage CNM 2.0.
1.1.1 Object Tree View
The object tree has three defined views letting you view the devices directly as you configure them. The
views are Account (arranged by customer name), Type (arranged by device type) and Main View up to
seven layers deep. The object tree also allows you to create your own logical views (organizing them by
geographic region etc. for example). Status icons in the tree let you know immediately if a device that has
gone down, is currently being configured or there is a fatal alarm associated with the device.
1.1.2 Flexible Friendly Device Registration
Use the registration wizard to register a single device or multiple devices by importing an XML
registration file. This means that any customer’s network can be brought under Vantage control in the
time it takes to run a wizard.
1.1.3 Building Blocks
Use BBs (building block) to rapidly configure both existing and new devices by reusing multiple
configurations, a device’s single configuration or a configuration component, ensuring absolute
consistency across devices. As you use Vantage longer, it will become even easier to use as you build
up valuable BB repositories.
1.1.4 Multiple Domain Administration
Associate administrators to domains that you specify in the object tree allowing efficient division of labor
with maximum independence. Furthermore, multiple administrators may manage one domain, each with
different privileges allowing autonomy while cooperatively managing the same network(s).
1.1.5 Complete Device Configuration
Use the Vantage configuration menus to configure its features including LAN, WAN, NAT, firewall, VPN,
static routes, wireless etc. You may also directly access any device’s web configurator from the object
tree by simply right-clicking on it, giving you total control over any device within Vantage.
1.1.6 Configuration Synchronization
Make sure a device configuration within Vantage is absolutely consistent with its actual configuration at
any time by using the Vantage synchronization screen. This means that local configuration changes can
be detected by selecting the Vantage Synchronize menu, therefore allowing flexibility with control.
