Abstract
A system, a method, and a computer program product for managing network configuration by a controller. A request to connect a device to a network is received. The network is accessed by the device by a port. The controller determines the device to be authorized to connect to the network. The controller configures the port in response to determining the device as an authorized device to connect to the network. The controller configures the port according to a first set of parameters. The first set of parameters regulate communication of the device on the network. After configuring the port, the controller monitors a set of communications. The controller monitors the set of communications for an error. By monitoring the set of communications, the controller determines whether the port meets network specifications.
