Abstract
A coordinated network configuration system includes a management network, a management device that is coupled to the management network and that is configured to provision networking device configurations through the management network, and a plurality of networking devices. A first networking device is coupled to the management device through the management network and receives a first networking device configuration from the management device through the management network. The first networking device then stores the first networking device configuration. The first networking device then determines that each of the plurality of networking devices have received respective networking device configurations and, in response, performs coordinated configuration operations using the first networking device configuration while each of the others of the plurality of networking devices performs the coordinated configuration operations using their respective networking device configurations. As such, a network including the plurality of networking devices is configured in a coordinated manner.
