Telecommunications node configuration management

A system comprising:

• a file server;
• a subtending device coupled to the file server, wherein the subtending device includes one or more line cards that connect one or more telecommunications nodes to a network;
• and
• a telecommunications node coupled to the subtending device, wherein the telecommunications node manages a configuration of the telecommunications node by performing operations including:
• receiving, from the file server and based, at least in part, on provisioning data provided by the subtending device, a first configuration file for the telecommunications node;
• parsing the first configuration file to identify a filename of a unit-specific configuration file for the telecommunications node;
• replacing a wildcard value in the filename with a unit-specific identifier to derive a network path of a unit-specific configuration file;
• configuring one or more parameters of the telecommunications node based on a given configuration file identified from the first configuration file;
• detecting a change to a configuration of the telecommunications node;
• and
• posting, to the derived network path, an updated unit-specific configuration file in response to detecting the change to the configuration.

A method of managing telecommunications node configuration, comprising:

• receiving, by a telecommunications node and from a file server, a first configuration file for the telecommunications node;
• parsing, by the telecommunications node, the first configuration file to identify a filename of a unit-specific configuration file for the telecommunications node;
• replacing, by the telecommunications node, a wildcard value in the filename with a unit-specific identifier to derive a network path of a unit-specific configuration file;
• configuring, by the telecommunications node, one or more parameters of the telecommunications node based on a given configuration file identified from the first configuration file;
• detecting, by the telecommunications node, a change to a configuration of the telecommunications node;
• and
• posting, by the telecommunications node and to the derived network path, an updated unit-specific configuration file in response to detecting the change to the configuration.
