Automating Network Device Configuration and Compliance Enforcement
Mohit Bajpai · SSRN Electronic Journal · 2025
Network infrastructures in large organizations are often complex, consisting of a vast array of devices from multiple vendors. Ensuring consistent configuration and compliance across this heterogeneous environment is a significant challenge. This paper explores the use of automation to streamline network device configuration management and enforce compliance with organizational policies. It outlines an architectural approach that leverages a domain-level data model to abstract network design from device-specific configurations, enabling centralized management and automated deployment. The paper also discusses the integration of performance monitoring metrics and proactive troubleshooting capabilities to enhance network operations. (Keith et al., 2010) (Dallaglio et al., 2017)
