A method and network for delivering management software from a network element to a client computer so that the client can configure and manage the network element. The network element includes a master software load and a management software load. The master software load includes software instructions for: enabling the client to log into the network element; and, if the client successfully logs into the network element, forming a management connection between the client and the network element and transferring to the client a current version of management software for execution on the client. The client can then host and execute the management software so that a user can direct operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) of the network element.
