1. A method comprising: receiving, with a network device included in a network, a request from a network device operator to interact with the network device to perform at least one of a software configuration or a hardware change; in response to the interaction request, generating a trigger outcome domain (TOD) for a logically distinct feature of the network device including a list of potential events that could occur in the network device in response to the interaction, the list of potential events including disabling or removing at least one forwarding component in a forwarding plane of the network device, and a list of potential outcomes in the network in response to each of the potential events, the list of potential outcomes including traffic loss on one or more routes through the network associated with the at least one forwarding component in the forwarding plane of the network device, wherein generating the TOD comprises retrieving interface mapping information for the network device from forwarding information maintained in a control unit of the network device and generating the TOD based at least on the retrieved interface mapping information; and displaying the TOD for the requested interaction to the network device operator prior to performing the requested interaction.
