One aspect of the instant application facilitates detection of configuration anomaly. During operation, a system can convert a set of rules associated with configuration syntax information for a feature in a respective feature document to at least a structured regular expression. Then the system generates a set of configuration templates with a respective configuration template including the structured regular expression corresponding to the feature document. The system can select, based on a target configuration associated with the network device, a subset of the configuration templates and can extract, based on a match between the selected configuration templates and the target configuration, a set of features. The system can determine one or more rules associated with the extracted features. Based on the one or more rules the system can determine an anomaly in the target configuration and generate at least one recommended configuration to alleviate the anomaly.

Detecting configuration anomaly in user configuration

Example approaches for authenticating a device are described. In an example, a category, from a plurality of categories, is identified for a device, based on data packets exchanged between the device and a network element. The category is indicative of operational capabilities of the device. Based on the category identified for the device, an authentication order for the device is determined. The authentication order is indicative of a sequence in which a set of authentication tests is to be executed for authentication of the device.

Device category based authentication

A system and device for determining authenticity of a client device transmitting a request to access a network that includes an authenticator to adjust authentication parameters for authentication requests to access a network from a client device, and access switches positioned within the authentication, each of the plurality of switches having an associated port for receiving the authentication requests. The authenticator monitors authentication requests received from the client device, determines whether a number of the monitored authentication requests that are failed authentication requests, and determines mobility of the client device during the monitored authentication requests. Authenticity of the client device is determined based on one of the determined number of failed authentication requests and the determined mobility of the client device.
