Abstract

A method is disclosed comprising receiving a desired configuration for a network element, the network element comprising a current configuration and being in operation in a live communications network. Prior to injecting the desired configuration in the network element, the method comprises initiating creating a test instance of the network element having a configuration corresponding to the current configuration of the network element, and initiating injecting the desired configuration in the test instance of the network element, wherein the test instance of the network element provides a log in response to a deactivation of the configuration of the test instance during applying the desired configuration. The method comprises determining whether the deactivation of the configuration associated with the log is allowable using at least one rule, and in response to the deactivation of the configuration associated with the log being allowable, initiating injecting the desired configuration in the network element.
