A method to automatically configure a network device is provided. Without user intervention, configuration messages are generated and transmitted on physical interfaces associated with the network device. Acknowledgements to the configuration messages provide connectivity information that is utilized to instruct the network device to operate in a first, second, or third operational mode. The network device loads instructions associated with each mode to allow the network device to automatically provide connectivity based on the network configuration or topology of the domain or segment associated with the network device.
