Vantage CNM

Centralized Network Management

Vantage CNM 2.0(Centralized Network Management), is a browser-based, global management solution that allows an administrator to easily configure, manage, monitor and troubleshoot ZyXEL devices from any location.

Vantage CNM 2.0 allows you to effectively separate usage and management of ZyXEL's comprehensive range of devices.

With the remote management feature, system integrators, IT consultants or administrators can remotely manage devices, thus reducing the configuration and administration hassles associated with managing multiple devices. The Vantage administrator will always be able to provide end users with first class support, whether the need is to decipher a log, to upload new firmware, or to create new VPN tunnels. Device owners will be able to efficiently use their devices without worrying about how they work.

Furthermore, by using Vantage CNM 2.0, an administrator can ensure consistency and compliance with all security policies, constantly monitor all devices and provide immediate support.

These combined features allow for the rapid deployment of ZyXEL devices, minimizing the cost of management and maximizing device efficiency.

Simply put, Vantage CNM 2.0 is a must for organizations of all sizes that deploy ZyXEL devices. Its power and scalability make managing multiple ZyXEL devices easier than ever before.

Features

One-click VPN
Graphically create VPN (Virtual Private Network) tunnels between devices by simply clicking a device and dragging a "tunnel" to another device. Pre-configured tunnel settings mean that even non-technical administrators can set up and manage tunnels with minimum effort.

Centralized Firewall Management
Ensure consistency and compliance with all security policies, constantly monitor all devices, and provide immediate support.

Firmware Upgrade and Management
Simultaneously upload device firmware from Vantage to multiple devices located anywhere, minimizing time, effort and room for error as well as ensuring firmware consistency across devices.

Devices owners can be notified automatically and reports can be generated detailing any devices firmware upload history.

Intuitive Device and Account Monitoring
The object tree allows you to create multiple logical views up to seven layers deep, letting you view devices directly as you configure them. Status icons in the tree let you know immediately if a device has gone down, if it is currently being configured, or if there is a fatal alarm associated with the devices.

Logs and Alarms
Logs and alarms facilitate the secure, smooth operation of all Vantage-registered ZyXEL devices across the globe. Logs give detailed information pertaining to customer accounts, devices and the Vantage CNM that is essential for troubleshooting or historical analysis. Alarms are real-time warnings of hardware failure, security breaches, attacks or illegal Vantage login attempts.

Vantage System Backup
Back up all Vantage configurations including firmware uploaded to the Vantage server; create various Vantage “snap shots” that may be restored at a later date.

Building Blocks (BBs)
A building block is a reusable configuration "brick" that can be used to rapidly configure device(s). A BB can be a device's total configuration, a single configuration such as WLAN, or a configuration component such as an IP address. This not only allows swift configuration of multiple devices but also ensures consistency across devices. The longer you use Vantage, the more BBs you accumulate, the easier it is to use.

Multiple Administrator, Multiple Domain Management
Multiple administrators may manage one domain, each with different permissions allowing autonomy while collaboratively managing the same networks.
