How is this different from UniFi or another vendor controller?

A vendor controller only manages that vendor’s gear. intSignal Network Portal is vendor-neutral — it manages UniFi, Cisco, MikroTik, Fortinet, Aruba, Juniper, and more from one portal, using an on-site edge device to reach each device. You get the single-pane experience of a controller without being locked to one brand.

How does the edge device work?

It’s a small on-site appliance that connects your local network gear to the portal over an outbound-only tunnel. It pushes new configuration down and pulls current config and state back up — so there are no inbound ports to open and no VPN to each device.

What does “management locked to the portal IP” mean?

Device management (SSH/API) is firewall-locked so the gear only accepts management traffic from the portal’s IP address — every other source is denied. Combined with vaulted per-device credentials and audited changes, it means there’s no exposed management plane for attackers to find.

Does it back up configuration and catch changes?

Yes. The portal keeps a versioned backup of every device’s config, supports one-click rollback, and detects drift — alerting you the moment an out-of-band or unauthorized change happens.

Can intSignal run it for us?

Yes. You can operate the portal yourself, or add intSignal-managed operations (our NOC) for monitoring, changes, and incident handling.

intSignal Network Portal

Vendor-neutral network management & unification.

One portal to run every vendor’s network gear — routers, switches, firewalls, and access points — through a secure on-site edge device that pushes and pulls configuration. Like a single controller for your whole network, but vendor-neutral, with management access firewall-locked to the portal.

The edge device

A secure connector that pushes and pulls config

A small on-site edge appliance links your local gear to the portal. It pushes new configuration down and pulls current state back up over an outbound-only tunnel — so there are no inbound ports to expose, and no VPN to each device.

✓Push configurationRoll out changes to any device from the portal.

✓Pull stateContinuously read config and status back up.

✓Outbound-only tunnelNo inbound ports opened on your firewall.

✓One connector per siteReach every local device without per-device access.

Secure by design

Management access locked to the portal

Device management is firewall-locked so gear only accepts SSH/API from the portal’s IP — every other source is denied. Credentials are vaulted per device, and every change is approved and audited. It’s the convenience of a cloud controller with tighter access control than most in-house setups.

✓Access locked to portal IPDevices reject management from anywhere else.

✓No exposed management planesNothing to find or brute-force from the internet.

✓Vaulted credentialsPer-device secrets, rotated and never shared.

✓Approved & audited changesEvery push is logged with who, what, and when.

Every config versioned — and drift caught

The portal keeps a versioned backup of every device’s configuration, restores with one click, and flags out-of-band changes the moment they happen — so an on-site edit or a bad change never becomes a mystery outage.
