Abstract

Network configuration compliance has traditionally focused on monitoring and notifying operators when a network departs from a compliant state, leaving corrective action to the operator. A declarative, rule-based system is proposed herein to enforce network configuration compliance while lowering the entry barrier for using compliance functions. The system associates trigger conditions with corrective actions and includes a cost-effective natural language processor based on device schema. The processor can translate natural-language trigger conditions for multivendor network-controller environments with a high accuracy rate, allowing operators to define compliance rules without manually writing controller queries.
