Abstract
Method and system for configuring a plurality of virtual networks using a plurality of physical resources of a network device is provided. A hierarchical data structure having a plurality of layers for representing an instance of the network device is generated. A first layer represents the plurality of virtual networks; a second layer represents a plurality of virtual network protocols that are used by the plurality of networks; and a third layer represent the physical resources that are used by the plurality of virtual networks for communicating with other devices. The plurality of virtual networks is validated by using the data structure to check if there is any conflict in using the selected physical resources.
