WE CLAIM:
1. A system (102) for network node configuration management, comprising:
a memory (204);
5 one or more processors (202) coupled to the memory (204);
a requestor module (212) implemented by the one or more
processors (202) is configured to receive at least one configuration change
request for one or more target network nodes from a plurality of network
nodes, wherein each configuration change request includes a set of
10 execution parameters;
a database (210) is configured to store at least one configuration
change request related to the one or more target network nodes;
a verification module (214) implemented by the one or more
processors (202) is configured to:
15 retrieve, from the database (210), at least one previously
stored configuration change request related to the one or more target
network nodes, and
compare the set of execution parameters of the received at
least one configuration change request with at least one set of
20 execution parameters of the at least one previously stored
configuration change request; and
a scheduling module (218) implemented by the one or more
processors (202) and configured to schedule a modified execution time for
the received at least one configuration change request based on network
25 availability analysis when the set of execution parameters of the received at
least one configuration change request matches with the at least one set of
execution parameters of the at least one previously stored configuration
change request.
2. The system (102) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the scheduling module
30 (218) is further configured to schedule the modified execution time by:
69
determining available time slots for executing the received at least one
configuration change request; and wherein the system further comprises: a
recommendation module (220) implemented by the one or more processors
(202) and configured to propose at least one time slot from the determined
5 available time slots
