Abstract

The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for validating a configuration across a cluster of intermediary devices. Within the cluster, a configuration change is entered at one node and propagated to the remaining nodes of the cluster. Before propagation, the new configuration is validated. The systems and methods include creating, on a first intermediary device, a configuration to be propagated to a plurality of routing daemons; executing, by a validation module of the first intermediary device, the configuration on a plurality of pseudo routing daemons, each pseudo routing daemon of the plurality of pseudo routing daemons corresponding to the routing daemon of a corresponding intermediary device of the cluster; and determining from results of executing the second configuration whether to propagate the second configuration to each routing daemon.
