Device Management
Inventory your network: add devices, sync from NetBox, run discovery, snapshot configs, and visualize topology.
9 articles
Adding Devices
Add devices to the NetStacks Controller manually, via CSV or JSON import, or through NetBox sync for centralized inventory management.
Device Types
Reference for NetStacks device_type strings, the CLI driver each one selects, and the per-platform config-capture commands they run.
NetBox Integration
Synchronize device inventory from one or more NetBox instances with filter-based device selection, field mapping, and scheduled sync.
Config Snapshots
Capture, store, and compare device configurations with versioned config records, SHA-256 change detection, and fleet-wide snapshot collections.
Config Diff & History
Diff two stored config versions of a device, check whether the stored config is in sync with the live device, and walk the version-by-version change history.
Bulk Operations
Run batch actions across many devices: bulk credential testing, bulk config pull, snapshot collection by site/type, tag management, and exports via the Controller admin API.
Network Discovery
Discover network neighbors with SNMP LLDP/CDP, SSH show commands, and nmap, plus traceroute hop resolution, to build NetStacks topology automatically.
Network Topology
Build interactive network diagrams on a manual 2D/3D canvas, enrich nodes with live SNMP, DNS, WHOIS and NetBox data, and export as PNG, SVG, or JSON.
Device Monitoring & SNMP Polling
Poll devices with SNMPv2c: right-click interface quick-look, 64-bit HC counters, two-sample throughput, hardware resource gauges, and jump-host routing.
