A method is provided that is implemented by a computing device to automate management functions in a network. The method collects existing state of the network from local database tables, logs or remote system tables. An expected network state is generated from a predefined set of expectations. The expected network state is compared to the collected existing state to identify errors in the network. The method then generates a set of notifications for administrators for the identified errors.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include methods and apparatus for providing virtual channelization of un-channelized media. A parent circuit is configured to expect dynamic IPoE CLIPS clients. Traffic having a source address is received from an access point. A circuit lookup is performed based on the source address. Upon a determination from the circuit lookup that a circuit corresponding to the traffic from the source address does not exist, the parent circuit determines whether the source address of the traffic falls within a predefined range of addresses and notifies a control plane of the parent circuit that a new IP address has been detected for dynamic IPoE CLIPS.
