Abstract: A method includes receiving a request to create an Internet Protocol (IP) schema on a network from a first user. The method further includes receiving a list of IP parameters associated with a device connected to the network. The method further includes receiving a positional encoding for the IP parameters that associates the IP parameters to bit locations in an IP address. The method further includes determining whether the first user is authorized to create the IP schema. The method further includes generating, in response to a determination that the first user is authorized, the IP schema based on the positional encoding for the IP parameters.

Abstract: A method of automatically naming network components, the method being performed by at least one processor and comprising determining a first value associated with a naming rule, the first value indicating a type of naming rule; determining a first length associated with the naming rule, wherein the first length is based on the first value; determining at least one or more subparts associated with the naming rule, wherein each of the at least one or more subparts comprises a configuration and a subpart length, and wherein a combined subpart length of each of the at least one or more subparts is equal to the first length; and generating the naming rule for naming network components based on the first value, the first length, and the at least one or more subparts.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, from a first user, a request to create an Internet Protocol (IP) template for a device connected to a network. The method further includes receiving an IP schema for the network. The method further includes receiving a list of IP template parameters associated with the network, wherein the IP template parameters includes information about a part of the network. The method further includes determining whether the first user is authorized to create the IP template. The method further includes generating, in response to a determination that the first user is authorized, an IP template based on the IP template parameters and the IP schema for the part of the network. The method further includes generating an IP address based on the IP template.
