Abstract
Customer premise network configuration to enable a new service within the network is provided by a network configuration manager. The network configuration manager is either manually or automatically invoked upon a new service being used in the network. The configuration manager obtains a service template for the service, which template provides generic end-to-end requirements for enabling the service. A configuration generator generates vendor-neutral device-configuration settings from the service template. A service configuration validator module then validates the service. Finally, an adaptor module translates the vendor-neutral device-configuration settings to vendor specific configuration settings corresponding to the devices in the network and configures the devices.
