ABSTRACT:
Mechanisms operable to configure, monitor and manage network devices without regard for device type and/or manufacturer are disclosed. One implementation includes a network manager unit disposed between the network administrator and the network devices. The network manager unit allows the administrator to holistically view, configure and manage an entire network without regard to device type and/or manufacturer. The administrator can implement this holistic approach with the use of a central repository for all configuration information and/or a central posting location for all network events. A device-specific command template database may be provided for providing device-specific command templates for various device types and/or manufacturers. Configuration information for a network device may be used to populate fields of a device-specific command template, selected from the database based on a device type and/or manufacturer of the network device, to generate a device-specific command that is used to configure the network device.
