1. A method, comprising the machine-implemented steps of:

  • receiving one or more command line interface commands associated with a network device that does not natively provide a programmable management interface;

    creating and storing a knowledge base comprising a representation of a syntax and semantics of the commands;

    receiving from the knowledge base a data structure representing a particular configuration command among the commands;

    creating and storing an intermediate data model that represents the configuration command, wherein creating the intermediate data model includes predicting one or more attributes of the configuration command;
