NCSwitch: Open-Source Network Configuration Management

Automate and standardize network device configurations with NCSwitch, an open-source tool that stores configurations in a central Git repository and uses a template system for routers, switches, firewalls, and more.

What is NCSwitch?

NCSwitch is an open-source network configuration management and automation tool. It helps standardize and automate network device configurations for routers, switches, firewalls, and other networking gear across an organization's infrastructure.

NCSwitch works by storing all device configuration templates in a central Git repository. These templates use variables and template logic to generate the final device configs. This ensures standard, consistent configurations across different brands and models of devices.

Some key features and benefits of NCSwitch include:

• Central repository for all device configs version controlled in Git
• Template system to generate standardized device configs
• Support for Cisco IOS, Juniper Junos, and other platforms
• Role-based access control for teams
• Validation testing for created configs before deployment
• Agentless configuration deployment to devices
• Backs up current device running configs
• Open source, available on GitHub

Overall, NCSwitch simplifies and automates the entire network configuration lifecycle. It provides companies a scalable, secure, and collaborative solution for managing the configs across modern heterogenous network infrastructures.
