Integration of complex networks are essential for communication systems in the rapidly evolving technological landscape in today's world. However, managing and operating a large and diverse network with devices from multiple vendors can be a challenging task. Vendors may use different technologies, protocols, and interfaces which are bringing difficulties for network administrators to manage the network. The objective of this research is to develop an integrated platform for different network devices from different vendors. This integrated environment will be implemented by executing a designed script to configure the settings to operate different network devices. This proposed platform will mitigate the challenges of using different network devices in a complex platform. This study provides an integrated environment where it is easy to manage different technologies, protocols and interfaces. It also reduces time consumption for system configuration significantly comparing to manual configuration. The average time per device is 0.175 seconds whereas in previous studies the time was 3.33 seconds.
