Abstract
A method and a system for re-establishing the connection of a network device with a network, using viral communication, are provided. According to the various embodiments, a disconnected network device acts as a simple wireless device and contacts a neighboring network device to obtain configuration information. The request can be forwarded to a network management station (NMS) through one or more neighbors of the disconnected network device. Connectivity is obtained by executing the configuration instructions obtained from the NMS.
