  • Patent number: 12149410
    Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to automatically generating standard network device configurations. In one example, one or more groups of network device configuration blocks may be obtained. An analysis of the one or more groups of network device configuration blocks may be performed, including identifying respective frequencies associated with respective network device configuration blocks of the one or more groups of network device configuration blocks. Based on the respective frequencies, one or more network device configuration blocks of the one or more groups of network device configuration blocks may be automatically aggregated into a standard network device configuration.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 27, 2022
    Date of Patent: November 19, 2024
    Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.

  • Patent number: 11438226
    Abstract: In one example, a logical representation of a first graph is generated. The first graph indicates a configuration of a network device in a network at a first time. The first graph includes a first node representative of a first configuration block of the network device, a second node representative of a second configuration block of the network device, and a first link that indicates, by connecting the first node and the second node, that the first configuration block is associated with the second configuration block. The logical representation of the first graph is compared to a logical representation of a second graph that indicates an actual or planned configuration of the network device at a second time subsequent to the first time. In response, one or more changes in the configuration of the network device from the first time to the second time are identified.
