Abstract

An approach is provided for managing and verifying configuration of a client network and the network devices by assessing or sharing network/device information. The approach includes querying a client system to determine one or more information items associated with a network and one or more network devices in the client system. The approach further includes generating a verified profile for the network and the one or more network devices. The approach also includes analyzing a modification in an active profile associated with the network and the one or more network devices. Further, the approach includes initiating an update to the verified profile or to the active profile based on a validation of the modification.
