A Tip for Managing Wired Networks

Earlier in the week, I posted three tips for managing wireless networks. Thought I would also share a tip for managing wired networks to round things out for the week. Here is a response to a question I often get from customers.

How can I tell when a Cisco device configuration has been altered or accessed?
You can be notified of any configuration changes or attempts by enabling the CiscoConfigManEvent trap. This feature sends you a trap whenever a user exits the configuration session. Simply point the trap to your network management system to see when somebody accesses a Cisco configuration session.


For dopplerVUE Users
You can forward traps as an email for 24x7 instant access to changes on network devices. To read more about this trap and how to configure it, please reference the following
Cisco article.
