Abstract: Editing the parameters for several network devices coupled to a computer network can be a cumbersome task. To simplify the task, a method of editing parameter settings for more than one network device using a graphical user interface is introduced. First, a set of network devices is displayed on a display screen. Then, a user selects a set of network devices to edit parameters for. Next, a list of parameters for the selected network devices is displayed on a display screen. The parameters that have the same value for all the selected network devices are displayed on the screen. However, parameters that do not have the same value for all the selected network devices are not displayed on the screen. Instead, the field is usually left blank. A user can edit the parameter settings displayed on the screen. When a parameter modification is approved, the modified parameter value is sent to all the selected network devices.
