Abstract
A network device management application may manage a number of network devices. When managing the network devices, the management application may receive requests from administrators to modify a configuration of the network devices. In response, the management application may apply the requested modification to a model of the network device and synchronize configuration information of the model of the network device to the configuration information of the real network device using a configuration-based state machine.
