Key Benefits: - Reduce the number of operational errors in managing multiple F5 devices
- Decrease the time to deploy configuration changes across multiple F5 devices
- Lower your labor costs for managing multiple F5 devices
F5’s appliance-based Enterprise Manager gives you the power to centrally discover and maintain the F5 devices in your Application Delivery Network.* Enterprise Manager delivers the following functionality: - Automatic backup of device configurations for easy rollbacks or setups
- Workflow management through staged changesets
- Centralized management of SSL certificates and keys
- Distributed Configuration Management through roles defined by specified administrative functions
- Device inventory
- Diff config of two configurations (Compare two configurations)
- Centralized configuration viewing and control
Enterprise Manager allows you to create and stage a set of of templates (or changesets) that contain device profiles, configurations settings, iRule definitions, and much more. These changesets are created by simply pointing at an existing device, or you can create your own directly. Once created, you can store or stage multiple changesets. When a new device is ready to join the environment, you can simply push the changeset out and the new box is configured based on your standards without worrying about errors or deviation from your established standards. Enterprise Manager changesets ensure that your customers receive consistent service while you scale your Application Delivery Network infrastructure to handle growth. Enterprise Manager can automatically backup valuable configuration files, including license information, on a daily, weekly, or customized schedule. Store multiple configurations per device. Make temporary network changes with the ability to compare the changes and roll-back to the previous configuration. Troubleshoot by trying different network configurations; safely return to previous configurations from the archive at any time. Enterprise Manager provides quick recovery from configuration errors and provides safeguards when reconfiguring devices. Enterprise Manager keeps critical device information in a central location. Easily find platform information, software versions, serial numbers, and registration keys for all of your supported F5 devices. View and select between installed software versions on a device. Receive an alert notification when a device does not respond to a status check. View the status or initiate configuration synchronizations between device pairs. Quickly view specific portion of a device configuration. Enterprise Manager can distribute administrative functions across customized roles. Configuration changes can be entered and staged by one set of administrators, while it is deployed by another set. Limited administrative control can be extended to a larger group of administrators that have less familiarity with F5 devices.
