Network Configuration Management

opConfig: Automated Configuration And Compliance Management

What is opConfig?

Network Configuration And Compliance Management

Configuration and Compliance Management is now easier to implement than ever before using opConfig.

opConfig continuously monitors the configuration of devices discovered by Open-AudIT Enterprise or managed by NMIS, tracks changes and stores a complete history of configuration information.

opConfig can assist with risk management and regulatory compliance (APRA, PCI-DSS, SOX) for device configuration, software versions and hardware. Organizations can efficiently manage the backup and comparison of configuration information, aiding in the quick resolution of problems and compliance with standards.

"Great features right out of the box, such as business rules and the ability to model any piece of equipment. All of the key features can be accessed through the GUI, but I can edit everything in the command line if I need it."

Quick Setup

Install +

Please note that NMIS must be installed on your machine before adding opConfig or most other FirstWave network management modules. Please ensure you have installed NMIS before installing opConfig. NMIS is the underlying software required to run any of FirstWave’s individual network monitoring and management modules and can be installed on Linux. If you do not have a machine currently running Linux, you can download and install the FirstWave Virtual Machine, which includes NMIS and all FirstWave network monitoring software modules. The following installation guide should be sufficient for most users’ needs. Advanced instructions and troubleshooting are available on the opConfig Wiki.

1. Download the opConfig installer

If you haven’t already, hit the download button above and download the opConfig Installer. The Installer comes as a .run file.

2. Run the Installer in Linux Terminal

Open the Linux Terminal. Start a Terminal instance as the root user through the following command, entering your password when prompted: sudo -i 

If you have not been granted access to the root user, contact your system administrator. Once your terminal session is run by the root user, run the shell command to begin the installation process

sh opConfig-<version number>.run

Press Y or Return/Enter when the installer prompts you. Several times throughout the installation process you will be prompted to approve the various components of the opConfig Module as they are installed on your machine. Please take note of any relevant information as you approve each step. When the installation is complete, the following will print on the Terminal:

You’re now ready to license opConfig.

Good news! Each of FirstWave’s network monitoring software modules offer a free time-unlimited 20-node license. The first time you open each program, you will be given the opportunity to activate a free license.

Time-limited trials are also available if you want to test the software on a larger network, and licenses for running FirstWave’s software modules on larger networks are available by request.
