A network device may obtain its Internet Protocol (IP) address information. The network device may receive a device network address assignment message that indicates an IP address of the network device. The network device may receive a router advertisement message that indicates an IP address prefix that includes the IP address and that indicates a prefix length of the IP address prefix. The network device may form an IP interface that specifies the IP address and the prefix length.

Device network address and network prefix correlation

A network device may receive encoded provisioning information from a source of provisioning information, such as a bootstrap server, as part of a provisioning operation. An analysis tool on a client device or on the network device may be configured to obtain the encoded provisioning information, parse the encoded provisioning information to obtain one or more decoded portions of the provisioning information, and output information resulting from the parsing operation, thereby providing insight into device provisioning information often encoded in a complex manner.

A network device may be coupled to a removable storage device. The network device may process redirect information stored on the removable storage device to connect to a device configuration server indicated by the redirect information. The network device may complete a device provisioning operation based on configuration information obtained from the device configuration server and report status of the device provisioning operation to the device configuration server.

Secure network device provisioning with removable storage device

A network device may receive one or more configuration scripts as part of provisioning information in a secure device provisioning operation. When executing a particular configuration script, the network device may maintain a timeout value indicative of an allocated time for completion of the execution of the configuration script. The network device may update the timeout value based on an indication in the configuration script.

Allocated execution time adjustment for secure device provisioning

A method of transaction between a mobile payment device and a vending machine is described, together with a system and elements of a system supporting such a method of transaction. The method comprises establishing wireless contact between the mobile payment device and the vending machine. Vending machine transaction details are established between the mobile payment device and the vending machine. These vending machine transaction details are sent to a vending platform associated with a payment infrastructure where the vending machine transaction is authorized. The vending platform then provides an authorization token for the vending machine transaction, allowing the vending machine to enable vending when the authorization token has been received.
