Claim 0:
1. A method of operating a Radio Access Network (RAN) including a radio unit device, a first computing device, and a second computing device different from the first computing device, the method comprising:
storing, by a network management device, first Distributed Unit (DU) configuration information;
configuring, by the network management device, the first computing device using the first DU configuration information;
detecting, by the network management device, an outage of the first computing device;
configuring, by the network management device, the second computing device using the first DU configuration information in response to the detecting the outage of the first computing device;
causing, by the network management device, the second computing device to update a configuration parameter stored by the radio unit device using an address of the radio unit device included in the first DU configuration information;
establishing, by the network management device, a first Network Configuration (NETCONF) protocol session with the second computing device;
configuring, by the network management device, the second computing device using second DU configuration information different from the first DU configuration information during the first NETCONF protocol session; and
establishing, by the network management device, a second NETCONF protocol session with the first computing device, wherein the configuring the first computing device using the first DU configuration information is performed during the second NETCONF protocol session.
