NetBrain currently has no mechanism to automatically detect when a new device is physically connected to the network, and the Change Management module does not include a built-in SFTP process for transferring a prior device's configuration to its replacement. As a result, switch replacement requires manual discovery initiation and manual configuration transfer steps. This enhancement would introduce automatic discovery of newly connected devices and a built-in SFTP capability within Change Management to push the retiring device's saved configuration directly to the replacement device. Customers managing incident response and hardware lifecycle events would benefit from a faster, more consistent switch replacement process with reduced manual effort and downtime.
