Systems and methods for automated verification and reconfiguration of disconnected network devices

A method of disconnecting network services provided over one or more networks, each network service associated with a service identifier, the method executable by a computing device communicatively coupled to the one or more networks, the method comprising:

• for each network service:
• retrieving network service path data for a network service path previously used to provide the disconnected network service, the network path data including a port identifier corresponding to a port along the network service path;
• identifying a network device including the port by querying an inventory database using the port identifier, the inventory database storing a list of network devices and port identifiers associated with each of the network devices;
• transmitting a request to the network device, the request configured to automatically cause the network device to retrieve port configuration data of the network device and transmit the port configuration data to the computing device;
• receiving, in response to transmitting the request, the port configuration data;
• determining from the port configuration data that the port is still assigned to provide the disconnected network service;
• and
• in response to determining the port is still assigned to the network service, transmitting a reconfiguration command to the network device, wherein the reconfiguration command is adapted to cause the network device to update the port configuration data to free the port.

A system for disconnecting network services in a telecommunications network, the system comprising:

• a computing device communicatively couplable to a plurality of storage systems and a network for providing network services, the computing device configured to:
• obtain a service identifier assigned to the network service;
• identify a port of a network device included in the network service path using the service identifier;
• transmit a request to the network device for port configuration data of the network device;
• receive, in response to the request, the port configuration data of the network device;
• determine that the port is assigned to the network service from the port configuration data;
• and
• execute a remediation operation in response to determining the port is assigned to the network service, the remediation operation including transmitting a reconfiguration command to the network device, wherein the reconfiguration command is adapted to cause the network device to update the port configuration data to free the port.
