CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT

PRINT PAGE Add This

DoD and Joint Staff directives assign the DSN Single System Manager (SSM) the responsibility for maintaining end-to-end Configuration Management of the DSN. This effort cannot be completed without the cooperation of the DoD components who own the DSN switches. The DSN SSM's vision for end-to-end management includes the development and implementation of a consolidated database repository that will provide the configuration information needed to properly manage the global network, satisfy up-channel reporting requirements, and provide the operational commands and authorized users with current switch configuration information.

Additionally, Configuration Management must:

  • Meet CJCSI 6215.01B CM Direction and Service Level Agreements End to End
  • Meet GIG Capstone Requirements End to End
  • Respond to GAO Audit on DSN JITC Process
  • Ensure Interoperability & Security End to End
  • Support DSN DITSCAP Process
  • Enforce the JITC Certification Process
  • Comply with DISN NCCB Requirements
  • Improve DSN Financial Management of Operational Assets & Services
  • Support MILDEP Post/Camp/Station CM


Toward these ends, a Configuration Control Board was established to oversee all CM efforts within the DSN and to support related initiatives in other areas such as Information Assurance.

DSN Inventory provides the foundation for CM activities.
