Abstract

The present invention relates to systems and methods for bulk network device management. One embodiment of the invention provides a method for concurrently managing network devices including spawning a plurality of processes, e.g., threads. Each process or thread is associated with a network device. The plurality of processes or threads each invoke a program, e.g., an Expect engine, to execute a plurality of scripts, e.g., Expect scripts. Each script interfaces with the associated network device. The method further includes using each script to write information to a set of first log files. The information is the result of the execution of the script, which performs monitoring, configuration and fault management operations on the associated network device.
