Configuration Management
AmpCon-Campus includes native configuration management capabilities, which you can use to push an update to a single switch or to an entire group of switches. By using AmpCon-Campus, you don’t need to edit and push switch configurations one by one. In this way, the likelihood of errors can be reduced, the switch configuration process can be simplified, and you don’t need to deal with the added expense or headache of a third-party tool.

AmpCon-Campus automates the process of checking and updating switch licenses with the latest support entitlements. A License Audit task checks whether a group of specified switches has valid licenses and creates a report of the license status ( including the support expiration date and other details).
The License Action task automatically updates the license keys on all switches whose support is due to expire in the next 30 days and logs the result to a report, which you can examine or download.

Simplified Software and Switch Upgrades
Finally, the The nature of PicOS® PicOS itself makes it simpler to manage switches compared to any other legacy network operating system (NOS) of switches or routers. Because PicOS® PicOS is Linux-based , and thus it’s compartmentalized, which means that you can update or change one component or aspect without affecting other components. For example, if you’re pushing a security patch, it affects only the security component of the NOS; you don’t need to replace the entire software or firmware image.

To perform switch lifecycle operations more conveniently, you can organize switches in groups by region, location, building, and more.Importing Switchesswitches
For those switches that were not originally deployed through AmpCon-Campus, you can import them directly to AmpCon-Campus to manage them.
Decommission Workflowworkflow
To shut a switch down temporarily and then redeploy it in another location, you can decommission the switch in the AmpCon-Campus UI.Operational Logslogs
