Abstract
One embodiment includes a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions executable by a processor to implement a method. The method includes receiving user configuration data for a network device, the configuration system being coupled to a service network. The method also includes storing device configuration data in a configuration database coupled to the service network, the device configuration data being based on the user configuration data and service network data. The method also includes receiving a configuration request at the configuration system from the network device in response to the network device being unconfigured and connected in a user network. The method further includes transmitting the device configuration data from the configuration database to the network device in response to the configuration request.
