Abstract

The described systems and methods are directed at managing networks using network templates. Each network template is associated with a different network topology and includes parameters for implementing the associated network topology. A user may implement a particular network topology by selecting a corresponding network template. A configurator may be used to configure a network device to implement the network topology associated with the selected network template based, at least in part, on the parameters.
