Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for managing configurations of telecommunications nodes. In one aspect, a system includes a file server; a subtending device coupled to the file server, and a telecommunications node coupled to the subtending device. The subtending device can include one or more line cards that connect one or more telecommunications nodes to a network. The telecommunications device receives, from the file server and based on provisioning information provided by the subtending device, a first configuration file and replaces a wildcard value in the first filename with a unit-specific identifier. A unit-specific configuration file is requested from the file server, and used to configure the node. A change is detected to the configuration, and an updated unit-specific configuration file is posted to the file server using the first filename.
