Abstract
A device may receive a configuration of a network device, where the configuration includes configuration blocks with references to high level objects. The device may receive an out-of-band configuration change from the network device, and may compare the out-of-band configuration change and the configuration to identify an impacted high level object. The device may determine an impacted reference and an impacted configuration block associated with the impacted high level object, and may determine whether to reject the out-of-band configuration change, accept the out-of-band configuration change, or merge the out-of-band configuration change with the configuration based on the impacted high level object, the impacted reference, and the impacted configuration block. The device may perform one or more actions based on determining whether to reject the out-of-band configuration change, accept the out-of-band configuration change, or merge the out-of-band configuration change with the configuration.
