Methods and systems for providing network models and network configurations for communications are described. The method includes establishing, by a device intermediary to a plurality of clients and servers, a first interface on a manager of the device for delivering a network model of the device from the manager of the device to a software defined network (SDN) controller of an SDN. The method includes providing, via the first interface, the network model configured to provide definitions of one or more network layer entities of the device that are configured to provide network layer services. The method includes establishing, a second interface on the manager of the device configured to transmit and receive communications between the device and the SDN controller. The method includes receiving, by the manager via the second interface, network configuration to configure the device to process SDN application requests received from the SDN controller.

The present application is directed towards systems and methods for providing user interfaces for management applications via a definition-based graphical user interface (GUI) framework for developing web based management applications for servers, intermediaries, routers, wide area network (WAN) accelerators, caches, switches, or any other type and form of computing device. The plug-in free framework reduces the server's resource consumption and bandwidth by making a full use of resources available on the client computing device or browser. A complete web application can be developed using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) definitions along with a representational state transfer (REST) based application programming interface (API) efficiently using the framework, which may comprise light-weight pure JavaScript or similar executable code. In many embodiments, the framework may be layered in a model-view-controller (MVC) architecture easing resource consumption, maintenance and extensibility.
