Abstract: In an example implementation consistent with the features disclosed herein, network devices of a physical network are bucketized for automatic configuration based on statistical analysis of the quantity of network links for the network devices. The quantity of network links for each of the network devices is identified. A bucketing factor for the network devices is computed. The bucketing factor equals a sum of a mean and a confidence interval value for the quantity of network links for the network devices. A persona for a provisioned network device is recommend based on the bucketing factor. The persona is assigned to the provisioned network device. A network device configuration is applied to the provisioned network device based on the persona assigned to the provisioned network device. A virtual network may be created on the physical network.
