  • receiving configuration information identifying an element type of a first network element and a version of the first network element;

    selecting, from a list of one or more fully-qualified versions for the element type of the first network element, a managed version by;

    determining whether any of the fully-qualified versions are earlier than the version of the first network element;

    in response to determining that one or more of the fully-qualified versions are earlier than the version of the first network element, selecting a latest fully-qualified version that is earlier than the version of the first network element; and

    in response to determining that none of the fully-qualified versions are earlier than the version of the first network element, selecting a default version associated with a manufacturer of the first network element;
