Abstract

A device may receive data relating to a site plan and image data relating to a network device. The device may determine a device identifier based on the image data, associate the device identifier with the site plan based on a common attribute between the network device and the site plan, and cause a certificate to be generated based on an authentication request to a network controller. The authentication request may cause the network controller to generate the certificate based on the device identifier and/or the site plan. The device may cause an Internet protocol (IP) address to be assigned to the network device based on the certificate, a location of the network device, and/or another related parameter, cause a node configuration to be generated based on the IP address, the device identifier, and/or the site plan, and provision the network device according to the node configuration.
