Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for zero-touch provisioning of devices, such as sensors, on a network. When a device is unable/cannot access a network via Ethernet, cellular, or near field communications capabilities resident on the device, the device can alternatively be provisioned via an intermediate network device, such as an access point using, e.g., Device Provisioning Protocol or Wi-Fi EasyConnect. A cloud-based network management system may receive a device's bootstrapping information during or after manufacturing of the device. Ultimately, the device, via the intermediate network device, is able to communicate with a back-end, cloud-based network insight system from which configuration parameters for the device may be obtained.
