Cloud Based Network Management Introduction

Follow Eli on the Vlog Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/EliComputerGuyLive

Today's Topic:
Network Equipment is following the tech trend of relying on the "cloud" for configuration and control. Cloud Based Management Network Devices contact control servers on the web for their configurations and report logs to those servers. Users can then access the Configuration and sporting Pages on the web to control the network, and see a detailed view of the status of the network.

These types of systems give smaller networks a view and level of control that was unavailable to them before, but it means that they no longer have local control of the devices.

In this video we demo CloudTrax.com which controls a lab network of Open-Mesh Access Points: http://www.open-mesh.com
