1. A method for providing a managed network, comprising:
- in a management center, setting at least one configuration to be transmitted to a first network management device, the at least one configuration to cause the first network management device to provide a corresponding at least one managed network service for a first network after the at least one configuration is transmitted to and received by the first network management device, wherein setting the at least one configuration comprises setting;
a quality of service (QOS) configuration to cause the first network management device to enable selective transmission of information by the first network management device based on a relative metric of the information; and
transmitting the at least one configuration to the first network management device via a second network in response to receiving an activation key at the management center, the activation key transmitted from the first network management device to the management center via the second network after the first network management device is connected to the second network at a first location.

12. A system for managing a network, the system comprising:
-
a first network management device comprising a processor and a memory, the first network management device to provide at least one managed network service for a first network after a corresponding at least one configuration is transmitted to and received by the first network management device; and a management center to communicate with the first network management device via a second network, the management center to; set the least one configuration to be transmitted to a first network management device, wherein the at least one configuration comprises; a quality of service (QOS) configuration to cause the first network management device to enable selective transmission of information by the first network management device based on a relative metric of the information; and transmit the at least one configuration to the first network management device via the second network in response to receiving an activation key at the management center, the activation key transmitted from the first network management device to the management center via the second network after the first network management device is connected to the second network at a first location. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
