Provisioning a network element using custom defaults

摘要

A method for provisioning a network element is included where a custom default file and a standard default file are provided in a network element. The custom default file includes one or more default parameters of a same type, but having a different value from, corresponding default parameters in the standard default file. Service parameters are determined based on the default parameters of the standard default file as modified by overriding default parameters of the custom default file. The service is generated based on the service parameters.
