Configuration Manager. Your network team uses it to create a standard configuration to be deployed on all
switches, along with any site region-specific variations. All configurations are tied to specific switches by the
switch serial number (or Service Tag) and stored in a database.
After registering with the Automation ServerAmpCon-DC server, each switch then downloads its appropriate configuration. At the
