Management of network configuration and address provisioning |
摘要 |
Provided are systems and methods for network management and configuration. Exemplary methods can comprise communicating a first message to a network device. The first message can specify one of a first protocol or a second protocol. Methods can comprise configuring a first logical address for the network device based at least on the first message. Methods can comprise communicating a second message to the network device. The second message can specify one of a first mode, directing the network device to use the first protocol to connect to a network, or a second mode, directing the network device to use the second protocol to connect to the network. Methods can also comprise receiving a notification to release the first logical address from the network device. Methods can further comprise configuring a second logical address for the network device that can be defined according to the second message. |

1. A method, comprising:
communicating a first message to a network device, the first message specifying one of a first protocol or a second protocol; configuring a first logical address for the network device based at least on the first message; communicating a second message to the network device, wherein the second message specifies one of a first mode, directing the network device to use the first protocol to connect to a network, or a second mode, directing the network device to use the second protocol to connect to the network, wherein the second message communicates an instruction to dismiss the first message; receiving a notification to release the first logical address from the network device; and configuring a second logical address for the network device, the second logical address being defined according to the second message. |
