1. A computing device comprising:
- one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to;
receive;
status information indicating network usage by a network device, andan identifier of the network device;
determine, based on the status information, to temporarily alter a first communication parameter for a first communication port of the network device;
select, in response to determining to temporarily alter the first communication parameter, an updated communication parameter from a plurality of communication parameters based on the status information and based on the identifier of the network device; and
transmit the updated communication parameter to the network device, wherein the updated communication parameter causes alteration of the first communication port while leaving unchanged a second communication port of the network device.

Abstract
Systems and methods for configuring network devices are provided. Aspects of the disclosure relate to configuration parameters and methods for using configuration parameters to provide enhanced services to users in a network. Updated configuration parameters may be provided in response to a request for temporary alteration of a communication parameter associated with a communication protocol of a network device. The updated communication parameter may cause alteration of a communication parameter associated with the communication protocol while leaving unchanged a second communication protocol of the network device.

9. A computing device comprising:
-
one or more processors; and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to; receive; status information indicating that a network device requires temporary alteration of a capability of the network device to communicate via a network, and an identifier of the network device; select, based on the status information and the identifier of the network device, an updated communication parameter from a plurality of communication parameters, wherein the updated communication parameter modifies a first communication protocol of the network device; and transmit the updated communication parameter to the network device, wherein the updated communication parameter causes the temporary alteration of the capability of the network device to communicate using the network by altering a first communication parameter for the first communication protocol and does not cause alteration of a second communication protocol. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
