Abstract

Disclosed are device managers, systems and methods for coordinating the configurations of devices on a network. An exemplary system having devices and/or device managers in accordance with embodiments can include at least two devices coupled to a network where the devices are able to parse data in a meta or common information format, such as Extensible Markup Language (XML). The network may be a Virtual Private Network (VPN), for example. An exemplary method in accordance with embodiments can include: connecting first and second devices to a network; configuring the first device; generating the first device configuration in its native command format and the second device's configuration as meta data; applying the meta data to a suitable parser in the second device; and generating readable configuration commands to configure the second device.
