SL Command
The network inventory and operations console for multi-site businesses.
Simplify multi-vendor networks with unified management and control
Centralize management of every firewall, switch, access point and SD-WAN edge with SL Command. IT teams can monitor and manage Fortinet, Cisco, D-Link, HPE, Ubiquiti and VeloCloud devices from a single interface — and support for any other platform can be added on request — with unified visibility and control across the network. By eliminating the need for multiple tools, SL Command streamlines troubleshooting, reduces operational complexity and makes network operations simpler, faster and more efficient.
One network dashboard for every location
SL Command replaces a stack of separate consoles with one place to see, manage and run the network.
- Consolidated toolsLibreNMS, FortiGate, UniFi, VeloCloud, Uptime Kuma, UptimeRobot and Graylog, brought together instead of logged into one by one.
- Single pane of glassFirewalls, switches, Wi-Fi and ISP circuits for every site on one screen, with live status.
- Looking glassSee each site from inside and out: live port lights, bandwidth per circuit, ping and traceroute from the firewall, and internet probes that check what is exposed.
- ManagementBack up configs, push port, VLAN and syslog changes, and manage VPN users without signing in to each device.
- OperationsAlerts, a needs-attention list and outage reports keep the whole team working from the same picture.
Fewer consolesOne login replaces the separate tools your team juggles today.
Faster answersSee what is down, why, and what changed before anyone calls.
Safer changesEvery configuration backed up and every change logged.
Fully managedSmartLink hosts, monitors and updates it for you.
