A method and network for delivering management software from a network element that manages communication traffic to a client computer so that the client can configure and manage the network element. The network element includes a master software load and management software load that are loaded onto a processor board in the network element. The client establishes communication with the network element. The network element then downloads a transferred version of the management software, such as a Java based graphical user interface application, to the client that is a proper version of the management software for configuring and managing the network element. The client then hosts and executes the management software so that a user can direct operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) of the network element.
