Abstract

Deploying a new network device often requires that an employee physically travel to a datacenter to perform the initial install and configuration, even in shared datacenters with "smart-hands" type support. In many cases, this could be avoided if there were a standard, secure way to initially provision the devices. This document extends existing auto-install / Zero-Touch Provisioning mechanisms to make the process more secure. [ Ed note: Text inside square brackets ([]) is additional background information, answers to frequently asked questions, general musings, etc. They will be removed before publication. This document is being collaborated on in Github at: https://github.com/wkumari/draft- wkumari-opsawg-sdi. The most recent version of the document, open issues, etc should all be available here. The authors (gratefully) accept pull requests. ] [ Ed note: This document introduces concepts and serves as the basic for discussion - because of this, it is conversational, and would need to be firmed up before being published ]
