Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for secure management of network device configuration and audit are provided. A configuration blockchain is received by a first network device of a plurality of network devices. Additionally, the first network device analyzes the configuration blockchain to identify a plurality of configuration records associated with a second network device of the plurality of network devices. For at least one respective configuration record of the plurality of configuration records, the first network device determines a respective configuration change reflected in the at least one respective configuration record, and implements the respective configuration change on the first network device.
