Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method for controlling network provisioning servers. Users are provided with a common user interface that is independent of each provisioning server vendor's unique user interface. Tools are provided to allow the user to add, view, modify and delete parameters for network definitions, headend nodes, network policies, custom devices and static Internet Protocol addresses used by the provisioning servers. Tools are also provided to view, and modify top level network policy group definitions. The parameters are stored in a database. Locks are provided on the database as a whole, and for individual records within the database to prevent simultaneous changes by multiple users. Requested changes to the database are validated before being implemented. Reports can be generated from the information within the database. Access to various tool features is limited based upon a user level assigned to each user. A log file provides a history of all user initiated transactions.
