Device management commands are augmented with a condition that is evaluated prior to the command being executed at a managed device. If the condition is met, the command is executed; otherwise, execution of the command is rejected. An agent for operating a network device comprises a parser that receives from a network manager a conditional command communication that includes a condition and at least one management command. A preprocessor evaluates the condition. A command processor executes the management command if the condition is met, and transmits to the network manager a response indicative of management command execution status.
