SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATING ZERO TOUCH PROVISIONING OF CLOUD NETWORKS

Abstract:

The present is directed to systems, methods, and devices for Zero Touch Provisioning ("ZTP"). The system can include a computing network including at least one transit router and a triggering device, and at least one server coupled with the computing network. The server can: generate a topology map characterizing the computing network, link an identifier with a configuration file for devices in the computing network, receive a trigger signal from a triggering device coupled to the computing network, launch a ZTP algorithm, send an initial configuration file and executable first scripts to the triggering device, which first scripts direct the triggering device to: collect information identifying other devices in the computing network coupled to the triggering device, and to generate a unique identifier based on the collected information, receive a request including the unique identifier for a configuration file, and download the configuration file to the triggering device.
