Abstract

Configuration information for a network device may be associated with a protection state that may restrict the modification of portions of the configuration information that are set to the protected state. The network device may be configured using configuration information defined as a group of hierarchically arranged configuration statements. Permissions may be stored for the network device relating to users permitted to modify the configuration information. The permissions may include permission tags, or other information defining the protection state, associated with the configuration statements. Intended modifications to the configuration information may be processed based on whether the intended modifications affect configuration statements associated with one of the permission tags.
