1. A method comprising:
determining, by a network management system for a network device in a network, connectivity information indicating how the network device is connected within the network and a device profile of the network device, wherein the network management system comprises a hardware processor and is to provision and manage the network, and wherein the connectivity information comprises a connectivity number representing how many connections the network device has to other network devices;
determining, by the network management system, a connectivity tier of the network device in the network based on comparing the connectivity number to a threshold, wherein the connectivity tier corresponds to a placement of the network device in a hierarchy of network devices in the network;
selecting, by the network management system, a device persona associated with the connectivity tier, wherein the device persona indicates a configuration for the network device; and
sending, by the network management system to the network device, configuration information that configures the network device based on the device persona.
