Abstract

See full text

Systems, methods, and computer readable media for managing the configuration of topologically related network devices are described. In general, devices that are “topologically related” are devices that are functionally coupled in some way (e.g., network switches sharing a common trunk line or network routers providing common router services in accordance with an established priority scheme). Specifically, techniques are disclosed for verifying or changing the configuration of a first network device based on the configuration of a second, topologically related, network device. Configuration policies (or rules) are described that are used to “bridge” the configuration of one device with that of another device.
