Abstract
A unified framework is established based on a domain-specific system description model representative of physical network system topology, network system device capability and/or logical network system structure. The framework can be employed to streamline a network system configuration process and/or a software system deployment process and the like. Some instances can also be utilized in establishing a unified framework in a broadcast equipment environment to augment network system based technologies. Additionally, network devices having multiple network interfaces that are dedicated to specific network usages can be automatically configured. A method in accordance with an aspect of the present principles includes generating a site model with a plurality of groups of device model network interfaces that can represent dedicate networks. The device model interfaces are grouped according to usage and network medium type and are logically associated with pre-defined IP addresses. The site model is applied to the network devices to logically associate them into dedicated networks by automatically assigning the pre-defined IP addresses to the network interfaces of the devices.

11. A configuration database for use in configuring networked devices having network interfaces that are dedicated to specific network usages, wherein the configuration database includes a computer readable medium and a computer readable program that, when executed on a computer, causes a computer to:
provide at least one site model including at least two groups of device model interfaces, wherein device model interfaces are grouped and logically associated in accordance with dedicated usage by assigning addresses to the device model interfaces, and wherein the address assignment forms models of at least two dedicated networks corresponding to dedicated usage of said at least two groups.
