Abstract
Semantic checking of multi-device and protocol configurations based on an extensible rules database for a variety of devices and operating systems may be provided. First, a configuration may be received. Then parent-child hierarchical relationships in the configuration may be determined. Next, a set of rules may be applied to the configuration based upon the determined parent-child hierarchical relationships. A report of errors found and corrective suggestions may then be produced in response to applying the set of rules.
