ELEVATE YOUR NETWORK MANAGEMENT: MAXIMIZING EFFICIENCY WITH MANAGEENGINE NETWORK
CONFIGURATION MANAGER

As technology evolves, so do our networks. Today's sprawling network
infrastructures are intricate ecosystems, demanding more from IT teams than ever
before.  Configuration management, compliance enforcement, and firmware &
software updates are just a few of the growing requirements that strain manual
processes.

While manual network management might have sufficed in simpler times, it hinders
scalability in complex environments. It can also introduce security
vulnerabilities and leave your network prone to human error.

To navigate this new reality, organizations need a better approach—they need to
leverage a network configuration management tool.

Now, let's explore how a network configuration management tool can help
revolutionize your modern network, unlocking a new era of scalability and
security.

Key Topics:

 * Manual Configuration Challenges: Leveraging Configuration Management Tools
   * Scalability Hurdles
   * Backup Maintenance
   * Configuration Tracking
   * Firmware Vulnerability Management
   * Adherence to Compliance Standards
   * Streamlining Mundane Tasks
   * Report Maintenance
 * Selecting the Right Configuration Management Tool for your Network
   
   * Vendor Versatility
   * Backups
   * Change Management
   * Compliance Management

COMPLETE GUIDE: HOW TO DOWNLOAD & DEPLOY THE CISCO 9800-CL VIRTUAL WIRELESS
CONTROLLER ON VMWARE ESXI

This article covers the deployment of the Cisco WLC 9800-CL cloud-based
controller on the VMware ESXi platform. We explain the CPU, RAM and storage
requirements, provide URLs to easily download and install the WLC controller
using the OVA template, select the appropriate WLC 9800 deployment size (small,
medium, large) and help you understand and configure the different WLC VM
network interfaces.

Key Topics:

 * Introduction to the Cisco 9800 WLC Virtual Controller
 * Cisco 9800 WLC Virtual Controller VMware ESXi Requirements
 * Cisco 9800 WLC Virtual Controller Deployment Models
 * How to Download the Cisco 9800-CL Software
 * Installing the Cisco 9800 WLC Virtual Controller in VMware ESXi
 * Critical VMware Network Information on the Cisco 9800-CL – vNICs, vSwitch
   etc.
 * Configure a VMware Port Group to Allow Trunking or Single VLAN
 * Summary


INTRODUCTION TO THE CISCO 9800 WLC VIRTUAL CONTROLLER

Cisco released their next-generation 9800 series Wireless Controllers back in
2018, also offering a cloud-based version that supports VMware ESXi, Microsoft
Hyper-V, Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Ubuntu/Red
Hat Enterprise Linux using KVM, and Cisco NFVIS environments.

The virtualized version of the WLC controller offers great flexibility for
organizations while at the same time provides considerable savings thanks to its
zero-price tag. Customers are able to freely download and deploy the appliance,
with the only restriction being the AP licenses that need to be purchased as an
ongoing subscription.

Virtualization offers additional benefits which include:

 * Hardware independence. Not hardware involved. Lead times for the
   hardware-based controllers can sometimes exceed 6-9 months depending on the
   market demand and other circumstances.
 * Decreased cost. The VM option means organizations are saving 6-figure amounts
   for every 9800-40 or greater model they require. If you’re considering
   introducing High-Availability (HA), then the Cloud-based controller becomes a
   much cheaper architecture. Additional savings are added since Smartnet
   contracts for the hardware are not required.
 * Better utilization of virtualization infrastructure. Utilizing the existing
   virtualization platform increases its ROI.
 * Greater Deployment Flexibility. VMs allow you to easily move them from one
   physical server to another, even between different datacenters or physical
   locations.
 * Increased Redundancy & Backups. Backing up a VM is an easy and simple
   process. You can even use specialized free VM Backup tools for this process.


CISCO 9800 WLC VIRTUAL CONTROLLER VMWARE ESXI REQUIREMENTS

Deploying the WLC 9800-CL in an ESXi environment is, as you’ll discover, a
simple process. Cisco provides a single OVA file package, roughly around 1.25GB
in size:

MAXIMIZING NETWORK SECURITY: A DEEP DIVE INTO OPMANAGER'S FIREWALL ANALYZER
ADD-ON

In the rapidly evolving landscape of cyber threats, network security has never
been more crucial. With the frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks
escalating, organizations are under constant pressure to safeguard their
networks. According to Sophos' The State of Ransomware 2023 report, 66% of
organizations were hit by ransomware in 2023, and this trend is only going to
keep growing with time. Additionally, Top10VPN estimates that VPN-related
vulnerabilities increased by 47% in 2023. These statistics highlight the urgent
need for robust network security solutions.


TRADITIONAL NETWORK MONITORING: A GROWING INADEQUACY

Historically, network monitoring solutions have focused on tracking performance
metrics, bandwidth usage, and basic security alerts. While these tools have been
effective to an extent, the current cyberthreat landscape demands more advanced
capabilities. Traditional monitoring is often reactive, identifying issues after
they occur, which is no longer sufficient. As cyberthreats become more complex,
there's a clear need for proactive, comprehensive security measures.


INTRODUCING MANAGEENGINE FIREWALL ANALYZER

To address these growing challenges, a network security management tool like
ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer is indispensable. Firewall Analyzer is a powerful
tool designed to enhance firewall management and bolster network security. It
provides detailed insights into firewall activity, monitors traffic, detects
anomalies, and ensures compliance with security policies. By integrating
seamlessly with ManageEngine OpManager, Firewall Analyzer serves as a
comprehensive security management solution.


HOW FIREWALL ANALYZER BOLSTERS OPMANAGER

Firewall Analyzer is available as both a standalone product and an add-on for
OpManager. When combined, these tools offer a powerful synergy that
significantly enhances network security. Here is how:

 * Comprehensive Traffic Analysis: Firewall Analyzer provides detailed
   visibility into your network traffic. It analyzes inbound and outbound
   traffic to detect unusual patterns, potential threats, and bandwidth usage.
   This detailed analysis is crucial for preventing security breaches and
   optimizing network performance.

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO PALO ALTO NETWORKS SOFTWARE NGFW (FLEX) CREDITS. HOW NGFW
CREDITS WORK, RENEWAL CONSIDERATIONS, ONLINE CREDIT ESTIMATOR, DEPLOYMENT
PROFILES

Discover the ins and outs of using Palo Alto Networks’ Software NGFW (Flex)
credits to seamlessly renew your cloud-based or virtualized software NGFW
devices! Dive into this exciting guide where we unravel the mysteries of
software NGFW credits, show you how they're allocated to your deployment
profile, and walk you through the renewal and verification process.

Learn to calculate your required NGFW credits with the online Credit Estimator
and much more. Get ready to master your NGFW credits and keep your network
security top-notch!

Key Topics:

 * Grasping the Basics of Software NGFW (Flex) Credits
 * Estimating Your NGFW Credit Needs with the Credit Estimator
 * Renewing Your Deployment Profile with NGFW Credits
 * Summary


GRASPING THE BASICS OF SOFTWARE NGFW (FLEX) CREDITS

Palo Alto Networks’ Cloud-based (Azure, AWS, GCP) and virtualized (ESXi,
Hyper-V, KVM) deployments, aka software NGFW devices, are licensed using
Software NGFW credits (Flex Credits). When deploying a software NGFW device, you
are required to purchase the correct amount of NGFW credits to allow the
deployment, licensing and operation of the device. The amount of NGFW credits
required, depend on the specifications of your NGFW device which include:

 * Number and type (VM-Series or CN-Series) of firewalls deployed.
 * Number of vCPUs per firewall.
 * Subscriptions e.g Threat Prevention, URL Filtering, Wildfire etc.
 * Management Options e.g Panorama Management, Panorama Log Collector etc.
 * Support Options e.g Premium or Platinum support.

NGFW credits are subscription-based, meaning they expire 12 or 36 months after
purchase (depending on your contract), regardless of how many credits you use. 
For example, if you purchase 100 NGFW credits 12-month subscription and use 80
NGFW credits for your deployment, the remaining 20 NGFW credits will be
available for consumption, but expire at the end of the contract.

It's crucial to purchase the right amount of NGFW credits to minimize any that
go unused.
