Abstract

See full text

A system is provided that receives a first change request from a first enterprise network device to a first configuration used by the first device, identifies components of the first configuration impacted by the first request, and receives a second change request from a second network device to a second configuration used by the second device. The system identifies second configuration components impacted by the second request, filters second device information from the second request and components impacted by the request, and analyzes the unimplemented first request impacting at least one component impacted by the second request. The system presents the as-built configuration of the second configuration, describes the first request impact to the component, approves all or some of the second request based on analysis of filtering results and a commitment regarding the first request, and processes the approved portion of the second request based on second device response.
