Method of remote management in a network (2, 100), the network (2, 100) comprising a plurality of nodes to be managed by a remote controller, the nodes being identified each by at least one characterizing parameter corresponding to any of predetermined instances of said at least one characterizing parameter, said at least one characterizing parameter being selected from the group consisting of: vendor, model, hardware version, firmware version, chipset type, wherein: - the remote controller identifies the nodes, by identifying said at least one characterizing parameter of each node; - the remote controller accesses a database comprising said predetermined instances of said at least one characterizing parameter associated with respective upgrade procedures and controller firmwares, said upgrade procedures and controller firmwares being specifically configured for each instance of said at least one characterizing parameters, the controller firmwares implementing a uniform set of features among the nodes and enabling the nodes to be managed by the remote controller by means of a uniform set of managing procedures; - for each identified node, the remote controller retrieves from said database the specific upgrade procedure and the specific controller firmware, which are associated in said database with the instance corresponding to said at least one characterizing parameter identified for the node; - the remote controller executes, for each identified node, the retrieved specific upgrade procedure for loading the retrieved specific controller firmware onto the node; - after loading the specific controller firmware, the remote controller manages the nodes according to said uniform set of features and by using said uniform set of managing procedures, wherein said uniform set of features and said uniform set of managing procedures are the same for all the nodes and each node has a specific stock firmware, implementing a specific stock set of features and requiring the use by the remote controller of specific managing procedures, including said specific upgrade procedure, and wherein the loading of the retrieved specific controller firmware onto each identified node is executed so as to replace the specific stock firmware with the specific controller firmware, whereby the node is enabled to implement said uniform set of features, instead of said specific stock set of features, and the remote controller is enabled to manage the node by using said uniform set of managing procedures, instead of using said node-specific managing procedures. - the remote controller identifies the nodes, by identifying said at least one characterizing parameter of each node; - the remote controller accesses a database comprising said predetermined instances of said at least one characterizing parameter associated with respective upgrade procedures and controller firmwares, said upgrade procedures and controller firmwares being specifically configured for each instance of said at least one characterizing parameters, the controller firmwares implementing a uniform set of features among the nodes and enabling the nodes to be managed by the remote controller by means of a uniform set of managing procedures; - for each identified node, the remote controller retrieves from said database the specific upgrade procedure and the specific controller firmware, which are associated in said database with the instance corresponding to said at least one characterizing parameter identified for the node; - the remote controller executes, for each identified node, the retrieved specific upgrade procedure for loading the retrieved specific controller firmware onto the node; - after loading the specific controller firmware, the remote controller manages the nodes according to said uniform set of features and by using said uniform set of managing procedures, wherein said uniform set of features and said uniform set of managing procedures are the same for all the nodes and each node has a specific stock firmware, implementing a specific stock set of features and requiring the use by the remote controller of specific managing procedures, including said specific upgrade procedure, and wherein the loading of the retrieved specific controller firmware onto each identified node is executed so as to replace the specific stock firmware with the specific controller firmware, whereby the node is enabled to implement said uniform set of features, instead of said specific stock set of features, and the remote controller is enabled to manage the node by using said uniform set of managing procedures, instead of using said node-specific managing procedures.
