Abstract: A management server includes a configuration and management module processing server configuration information, including a VPN peer list and VLAN/subnet settings. The management server automatically calculates the VPN configuration information, including the VPN peer subnet route information identifying which of the subnets participating in the VPN are behind which of the routers and keys to establish VPN tunnels between those routers participating in the VPN. Each of the routers participating in the VPN includes a VPN tunnel with the other routers participating in the VPN, a set of data structures storing data identifying contact information for each of the subnets participating in the VPN, a combination of an IP address and port to reach one of routers that that subnet is behind, and a forwarding module to forward traffic between the subnets.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein provide private network driven hosted network device management that enables more robust management of private networks that include such equipment. For example, in some implementations, a method of private network driven hosted network device management includes receiving a fetch request from a compliant device, wherein the fetch request indicates demand for at least one of new and updated configuration data and instructions. In turn, the method further includes assessing whether or not the new and updated configuration data and instructions, for the requesting compliant device, will conflict with local customizations and indicate potential disruption to connectivity and services in an associated private network, in order to produce an assessment result. The method also includes selectively generating a new configuration file including a suitable set of new and updated configuration data and instructions based on the assessment result.
