    摘要: A method and apparatus for generating configuration files using policy descriptions is provided. The present invention provides a method of generating a binary configuration file by receiving an identification encoded filename, parsing the identification encoded filename to determine identification parameters, matching the identification parameters to a set of configuration policy data to create configuration file parameters, and generating the binary configuration file from the configuration file parameters. The identification encoded filename can be can be run through an authentication check to provide increased security. Once created, the binary configuration file can also be validated, providing increased integrity. In one aspect of the present invention implemented is provided on a TFTP server. In another aspect of the invention an LDAP server is queried for certain configuration policy data, the configuration policy data being optionally cached on the TFTP server. The resulting configuration can be generated according to the DOCSIS configuration file standard, including removing non-version applicable DOCSIS configuration file parameters. The present invention can also be used to generate an annotated configuration file from the configuration file parameters, the annotated configuration file being viewable through a user interface.
