14. A network device management system, comprising:
a memory storing machine-executable instructions; and
a processor configured to access the memory and execute the machine-executable instructions to:
receive, from a network switch, first network information associated with a network device connected to a network port of the network switch;
perform first verification processing based on the first network information;
responsive to performing the first verification processing, send first configuration settings to the network switch to enable the network switch to configure the network port based on the first configuration settings;
receive, from the network device, second network information;
perform second verification processing based on the second network information; and
responsive to performing the second verification processing, send second configuration settings to the network switch to enable the network switch to re-configure the network port based on the second configuration settings.
