Abstract
A system for configuring and managing a network device includes a graphical user interface (GUI) (110), a network server (120), and a core-layer module (130). The GUI receives configuring and managing demands, and for displaying information on the network device. The network server is connected to the GUI, which is used for receiving the demands from the GUI. The network server includes a network engine (121) for converting various demands to different objects, a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) routine module (122) for generating applications based on the objects and for filling the routine templates with configuration data to generate routines, and a get/set module (123) for driving the core-layer module according to the applications to obtain the configuration data on the network device and for returning the configuration data to the HTML routine module. A related method for configuring and managing the network device is also provided.

8. A method for configuring and managing a network device, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) receiving a demand and converting the demand to an object;
(b) retrieving a getting routine template and generating an application based on the object;
(c) obtaining configuration data on the network device based on the application and filling the getting routine template with configuration data to generate a getting routine;
(d) converting the getting routine to a human-readable network getting page, for displaying of the network getting pages on a graphical user interface (GUI);
(e) receiving demands for obtaining setting pages for resetting configuration data on the network device and converting the demands to objects to retrieve setting routine templates;
(f) generating applications based on the objects and converting the setting routine templates to human-modified getting pages;
(g) obtaining an instruction for resetting the configuration data on the network device, and converting the instruction to objects; and
(h) generating applications based on the instruction to reset the configuration data on the network device. - View Dependent Claims (9)
