Abstract: Client network devices and configuration servers are used together to automatically configure the client network devices. Configuration information for multiple network devices is arranged in a multi-level directory. Leaf nodes in a hierarchical directory correspond to specific network devices. Configuration information associated with such leaf nodes is specific to the associated network device. Configuration information common to a group of network devices is provided with nodes at higher levels in the hierarchy. All network devices grouped under such higher levels inherit the configuration parameters from the higher level nodes. During configuration, all nodes from a leaf to the root of a directory are traversed. The parameters associated with each node are aggregated to obtain a set of parameters provided to the client network device. These aggregated parameters are used to automatically configure the client network device.
