ABSTRACT:
Computer implemented methods and systems are provided for flexible grouping for port analysis. Router configurations are parsed to create port data for each port on each router in a service provider network. The port data is integrated with customer data to create an integrated database. A plurality of ports is assigned to a plurality of groups in the integrated database based on applying a set of user defined rules, wherein at least one of the plurality of ports is assigned to multiple groups. Port data and customer data associated with a group selected from the plurality of groups is displayed.
