1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a network management device, first information relating to a trunk to be added between a switch and an end office,the network management device being remote from the switch;
receiving, by the network management device, second information indicating that the trunk is a trunk home for the end office;
creating, by the network management device, a virtual destination for the end office based on the first information and the second information,the virtual destination representing a group of network devices associated with the end office and the switch;
identifying, by the network management device, routing changes to be made, associated with the switch and a group of switches, based on adding the trunk; and
updating, by the network management device and based on the routing changes, a data structure that contains routing information associated with the switch and the end office.

Abstract
A system may install a trunk between a first switch and an end office, where the trunk is a trunk home for the end office. The system may further identify Numeric Numbering exchanges (NXXs) that home to the end office. Traffic for at least one of the identified NXXs is routed to the end office through a second switch that is different than the first switch. The system also causes traffic for the identified NXXs to be routed to the first switch.

10. A system comprising:
a network management device comprising one or more processors to; receive first information relating to a trunk to be added between a switch and an end office, the network management device being remote from the switch, and the first information including information identifying the switch and the end office, receive second information indicating that the trunk is a trunk home for the end office, create a virtual destination for the end office based on the first information and the second information, the virtual destination representing tandem switches associated with the end office and the switch, identify network routing changes to long distance switches and the switch based on adding the trunk, and update, based on the network routing changes, one or more data structures that store routing information associated with the switch and the end office. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a network management device, information for installing a trunk between a first switch and an end office, the network management device being remote from the first switch, and the trunk being a trunk home for the end office; identifying, by the network management device, Numeric Numbering eXchanges (NXXs) that home to the end office; creating, by the network management device, a virtual destination for the end office based on the information for installing the trunk and the NXXs; and causing, by the network management device and by using the virtual destination, traffic for at least one of the NXXs to be routed to the end office through a second switch that is different from the first switch. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
