Abstract
A computer-based system is configured for aggregating multiple router configurations into a single router configuration, enabling transfer of functionality from routers configured according to the respective router configurations to a single router having the single router configuration. The system includes a configuration determination resource configured for determining the router configurations from the multiple routers, and a device analyzer resource configured for determining for each router configuration a corresponding candidate configuration to be utilized in the single router configuration. Any conflict detected between the router configuration and the corresponding candidate configuration is managed by a conflict resolution resource, which determines the availability of a resolved configuration in the single router configuration to replace the corresponding router configuration. An router configuration aggregation resource is configured for generating the single router configuration based on the determined candidate configurations and resolved configurations.
