    Abstract: The disclosed system may include (1) a modular port concentrator that connects as a modular line card within a router to forward network packets, (2) a profile module, stored in memory, that stores an allowed port configuration profile that defines supported port configurations for the modular port concentrator, (3) a configuration module, stored in memory, that receives an attempted port configuration for the modular line card, (4) an enforcement module, stored in memory, that enforces the allowed port configuration profile by taking remedial action in response to determining that the allowed port configuration profile does not allow the attempted port configuration, and (5) at least one physical processor configured to execute the modular port concentrator, the profile module, the configuration module, and the enforcement module. Various other systems and methods are also disclosed.
