IP Infusion announces the general availability of IP Maestro 2.0 — the Element Management System (EMS) for managing and monitoring OcNOS-based network elements. IP Maestro provides a point-and-click graphical interface that complements the OcNOS CLI, giving network operations teams a visual alternative for device management, fault monitoring, and configuration tasks without requiring deep CLI expertise.
What’s New in IP Maestro 2.0
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) with LDAP
IP Maestro 2.0 introduces RBAC with LDAP authentication, allowing network administrators to control access to management functions based on user roles defined in their existing Active Directory or LDAP infrastructure. Network operations staff can monitor device status and acknowledge alarms without the ability to push configuration changes — a critical capability for multi-team environments.
Configuration Management Enhancements
IP Maestro 2.0 improves configuration push workflows with better diff visualization — showing exactly what configuration changes will be applied to each device before committing. Configuration templates allow common configuration patterns to be applied across multiple devices simultaneously.
Fault Management
The updated fault management dashboard provides real-time alarm visualization with severity-based filtering, alarm acknowledgment workflows, and historical alarm analysis. Network operations teams can quickly identify which alarms require immediate attention versus which have been acknowledged and are under investigation.
Device Management
IP Maestro 2.0 expands device inventory management with improved platform support across the OcNOS hardware portfolio, automated software version tracking, and clearer device health dashboards showing key metrics including CPU utilization, memory, and interface error rates.
