Abstract
A computer-implemented method and apparatus includes displaying a plurality of network devices on a display screen, and enabling selection of one of the network devices for configuration. A configuration script for the selected one of the network devices is identified from a plurality of configuration scripts, where each of the configuration scripts is associated with a particular one of the network devices. The identified configuration script is executed to obtain configuration information, identify connection rules associated with the identified configuration script, and produce a configuration file for configuring the network device based on the connection rules and the configuration information.
