18. A method for interfacing with a network device, the method comprising:
-
receiving a command in a first format, wherein the command is directed to the network device;
determining a device characteristic for the network device;
accessing a representation of a configuration schema corresponding to the determined device characteristic;
translating the received command from the first format to a second format using the accessed representation of the configuration schema; and
providing the command in the second format to the network device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
