Abstract
Systems and Methods for determining endpoint configurations for endpoints of a virtual private network (VPN) and deploying the configurations to the endpoints. Parameters required for building the configurations are accepted from a user, the configurations enabling the endpoints to process a mixture of time sensitive and non-time sensitive data, and the parameters comprising: endpoint IP addressing scheme information, network design information, and templates used to define profiles of the endpoints. The configurations for the parameters are generated, wherein the parameters comprise endpoint authentication information, and the configurations are set based on endpoint hardware-specific information with no further input required from the user. Each endpoint is queried to verify that the endpoint hardware-specific information is consistent with the configurations for the endpoint. The configurations are deployed to the endpoints of the VPN.
