Mesh configuration network

A computer-implemented method for configuring network infrastructure devices, the method comprising:

• establishing a wireless connection between a client network infrastructure configuration device (CNICD) and a first network infrastructure device using a wireless mesh network;
• receiving a set of configuration parameters for a target network device, via the wireless connection, from the CNICD;
• using the first network infrastructure device as a mesh point to provide a mesh link between the CNICD and the target network device, prior to allowing the target network device to accept a communication enabled connection to a wired network, wherein the first network infrastructure device acts as an intermediary on the mesh network to allow administrative communication between the CNICD and the target network device, the administrative communication including the set of configuration parameters for the target network device, the set of configuration parameters allowing the target network device to enable a port for active connection to the wired network.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processing units, cause the one or more processing units to:

• establish a wireless connection with a client network infrastructure configuration device (CNICD) via a wireless mesh network;
• receive a set of configuration parameters for a target network device, via the wireless connection, from the CNICD;
• act as a mesh point for the wireless mesh network to allow communication via a mesh link, between the CNICD and the target network device, prior to allowing the target network device to accept a communication enabled connection to the wired network, wherein the network infrastructure device acts as an intermediary on the mesh network to allow administrative communication between the CNICD and the target network device, the administrative communication including the set of configuration parameters for the target network device, the set of configuration parameters allowing the target network device to enable a port for active connection to the wired network.
