Abstract
A system and method for managing device configuration changes. The system and method preferably comprises a management station which issues a configuration change request to a management device and waits for a reply from the managed device. The managed device receives the configuration change request from the management station and processes the change request until the configuration change request is durable on the managed device. The managed device then returns a status to the management station indicating that the configuration request is durable. The management station receives the status from the managed device and stops waiting for reply. In the meantime, the managed device continues processing the configuration change request. In addition, the system and method preferably further comprises that after the management station receives the status from the managed device and stops waiting for a reply, the management station preferably starts and event completion status object which shows the completion status of the configuration change request being processed on the managed device.
