# NVIDIA Switch Infrastructure - Config Manager

NVIDIA Config Manager is a platform for bootstrapping and managing NVIDIA AI-factory network infrastructure. It brings Nautobot source-of-truth data, template rendering, DHCP, ZTP, configuration storage, and workflow automation into one deployment.

Read the [Start Here guide](/switch-infrastructure/config-manager/getting-started/start-here) or learn fundamental concepts through the [Config Manager overview](/switch-infrastructure/config-manager/config-manager/overview). Then use the [deployment guide](/switch-infrastructure/config-manager/getting-started/getting-started-with-config-manager) and [user guides](/switch-infrastructure/config-manager/user-guides/new-site-bringup) to install Config Manager, model network intent, render device configuration, run approved workflows, and troubleshoot day-0 and day-2 operations.

The project's GitHub repository is [https://github.com/nvidia/nv-config-manager](https://github.com/nvidia/nv-config-manager).

## Start here

* [Start Here](/switch-infrastructure/config-manager/getting-started/start-here) explains the product, personas, and recommended first path.
* [Getting Started with Config Manager](/switch-infrastructure/config-manager/getting-started/getting-started-with-config-manager) covers the standard connected install path.
* [Which Interface Should I Use?](/switch-infrastructure/config-manager/getting-started/which-interface-should-i-use) explains the Config Manager UI, Nautobot UI, Temporal Web, and APIs.
* [Airgapped Deployment](/switch-infrastructure/config-manager/deployment/airgapped) covers disconnected environments.
* [DSX Air Simulation User Guide](/switch-infrastructure/config-manager/getting-started/dsx-air-simulation-user-guide) covers workflow validation in NVIDIA DSX Air.
* [I want to...](/switch-infrastructure/config-manager/i-want-to) routes common tasks to the right guide.

The local development quick start is only for render and UI exploration. Use the DSX Air simulation guide when you need simulated Cumulus switches for device-facing workflow validation.
