Techniques and systems for performing a network activity within a network. The technique includes assigning one or a plurality of network devices subnets with network devices for performing network activities. Network devices within the assigned network device subnets can be assigned to act as a primary network device and a backup network device. The primary network device can perform the network activity. The backup network devices can monitor the primary network device and continue performing the network activities if the primary network device fails or is rogue.

Assigning network device subnets to perform network activities using network device information

Techniques and systems for establishing and maintaining networks. The technique includes assigning a network device to an interregional redirector system and load balancer systems. The network device can be assigned based upon the regions or subregions of the network device. The technique includes the load balancer systems assigning the network device to network device management engines. The status of the network device management engines can be monitored to determine if one of the network device management engines has failed. In the event that a network device management engine has failed, the network device can be assigned to a different network device management engine.
