ABSTRACT:
A method for maintaining the configuration of a network device in a user device of a network includes updating a network management device each time the configuration of any of the network device changes, and notifying a plurality of user devices in the network each time the network management device is updated. A determination is made as to whether a select user device has been notified of a select update in the network management device of a configuration change of a select network device. The select user device is synchronized with the network management device to update the select user device with the configuration change in the select network device, if the select user device has been notified of the select update in the network management device.
