With Cirrus' scheduled task feature, managing routers and other network devices has never been easier.  Schedule configuration downloads, configuration uploads, device reboots, executing command scripts, and more.  In addition to the Configuration backups being stored  in a relational database for archival history, they are also stored as flat files in an intuitive folder structure for easy viewing.


 

Configuration Comparisons

Another feature of Cirrus is the ability to compare configuration files.  Configurations can be compared between two routers or switches.  You can baseline your configurations and then compare newer versions to the baseline as they are distributed.   This allows you to easily view and track changes to your network.

Policy Management

Cirrus enables customers to ensure device configurations comply with federal regulations as well as their own internal standards.  The Policy Reporting Manager comes with several out-of-the box policy reports including SOX, HIPAA, CISP, and Cisco Security.

Device Inventory

Cirrus includes a detailed Device inventory for each managed device.  Interface and Port details, IP Addresses, ARP tables, and many other details are included in the Configuration Management database. This information can be extracted easily for use in other applications.

Bulk Changes

Need to quickly change a community string, password or block a MAC Address? Cirrus can execute Bulk changes either in real-time or at a future, scheduled change window.  Uploads, Changes, and Global Command Scripting can be scheduled by type of device, building, location, owner, or any other custom property. 

Upload/Download New IOS Images

Cirrus uses the award winning SolarWinds TFTP Server enabling you to schedule uploads of IOS images to your network devices.  With the enhanced grouping capability of Cirrus, you can easily manage each type of network device separately.  You no longer have to spend hours downloading and validating the IOS of each device and device type.  Cirrus provides this capability with the click of a button.
 

Reports

Cirrus ships with predefined reports for Device Location and Contact information, Down Nodes, Current IOS Image and Versions, Last Boot of each device, Current Response Time and System Information, etc. New reports can be created easily. Detailed inventory reports for each device are also included: ARP table, Port Map, VLANs by Port, Cisco Chassis, Card in Cisco devices, total and used memory, TCP and UDP services, flash memory, and many more.

Show Commands

Cirrus has a robust "Show Command" function that you can use to obtain information about the devices on you network.  Combined with the Grouping, Filtering and Pattern Matching features it is possible to obtain specific, real-time, information.  Examples of results include: show processes cpu, show version, show ip interface, show vlan, and show port. Customers can easily add their own interrogation commands, as well.

Config Change History

Configuration Change Reports show what devices have had Configuration changes over the past week, last night, or any time period. The Configuration Change Reports can also compare current Configurations with a baseline configuration.

MIB Browser

Cirrus ships with the award winning SolarWinds MIB Browser integrated into the Cirrus application. The SolarWinds extensive MIB database of over 250,000 standard and vendor specific OIDs significantly extend the capabilities of Cirrus. Several Standard MIBS are included in the Cirrus menu view with the ability for you to add additional MIB's or OID's.


Real-Time Interfaces View

Several Real-Time Interface Views are included within Cirrus.  These views include Real-Time Port Status, Real-Time Traffic Stats, Port Configuration, Real-Time ARP Cache, Last Time data was Transmitted/ Received, Real-Time Cisco Discovery Protocol, and Shutdown/Enable Interfaces

Dynamic Grouping

With the Device Grouping capability of Cirrus you are able to organize your view according to your business requirements.  Devices can be grouped by type, location, building, business unit, corporate application, or any other custom set of properties. Backups, scheduled changes, reporting, uploads, etc can be executed by any of these groups or by combining groups. 

Import Devices

Cirrus Configuration Management makes it easy to import devices from an existing list.  Import directly from Excel, MS-Access, SQL Server, Orion Network Performance Monitor, SolarWinds Sonar Discovery database, or a comma delimited or plain text file.

Multi Vendor Support

Cirrus was designed for today's complex network environment. The Cirrus Configuration Management application provides support for many types of network devices from many hardware vendors.  Cirrus monitors and manages Routers, Switches, Firewalls, VPN Concentrators, Wireless Access Points and more. Cirrus is a robust solution to managing your hybrid vendor network.

MAC Address Finder

Finding the location of a MAC Address on a network can be difficult. Cirrus Configuration Management makes this task easy. Use the MAC Finder to locate the switch port a device is plugged into. Searches can be performed by IP Address, MAC Address, or Hostname.

Database Support

Cirrus, like many of SolarWinds products, supports an Open, standard database structure.  Cirrus does not hide your network data in a proprietary database but instead provides you full access by storing the data in Microsoft SQL Server or in a MS-Access database.
