    Abstract: The techniques describe a network device comprising one or more processors configured to: receive configuration data configuring a plurality of virtual network nodes, wherein the configuration data configures a virtual client node including a corresponding line card having a port connected to a first customer network device, and configures a virtual core node including a corresponding line card having a port connected to a core network; provision a layer-2 (L2) circuit that includes, as an access interface, an interface logically connecting the virtual client node and virtual core node, wherein the L2 circuit provides connectivity between the virtual client node and a remote virtual client node; and forward, via the L2 circuit, packets between the virtual client node and the remote virtual client node to realize a logical network between the first customer network device and a second customer network device connected to the remote virtual PE node.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods described herein relate to an apparatus including a memory and a processor operatively coupled to the memory. The processor can receive a package associated with a network management device and management input. The processor can generate at least one management device schema based on the package, and can modify a controller schema based on the management input and the at least one management device schema. The processor can receive a configuration input signal that includes instructions to configure the network management device. The processor can determine a management device schema associated with the network management device based on the controller schema, and can convert the configuration input signal into a configuration signal based on the management device schema. The processor can also send the configuration signal to cause a modification to a configuration of the network management device based on the configuration signal.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods described herein relate to an apparatus including a memory and a processor operatively coupled to the memory. The processor can receive a set of network management device packages associated with a set of network management devices. The processor can merge a set of management device schema commands from the set of network management device packages with a unified schema to produce unified schema information. The processor can receive a unified schema command signal based on the unified schema information, and can convert the unified schema command signal into a set of management device schema command signals using the unified schema. The processor can also send each management device schema command signal from the set of management device schema commands, to network management devices.
