1. An electronic method comprising:
- accessing a network component;
retrieving a command set from the network component the command set including commands that the network component is capable of responding to;
determining a characteristic of the network component, wherein the determined characteristic is indicative of at least one of;
device type, manufacturer, model, and operating system version;
generating a configuration schema using the retrieved command set, wherein the generated configuration schema corresponds to the network component; and
storing the generated configuration schema in accordance with the determined characteristic so as to enable the configuration schema to be identified from among a collection of configuration schemas that includes configuration schemas that are associated with other network components.
