Abstract
A method for remotely configuring a network device using a user device and a network management service is provided. The user device includes a first communication interface and a second communication interface, and the method includes: initiating, by the user device, a communication channel with the network device using the second communication interface; after the communication channel is established: obtaining, by the user device via the first communication interface, configuration information for the network device from the network management service; and sending, by the user device, the configuration information to the network device via the communication channel. The user device is in communication with the network management service via the first communication interface, and the user device is configured as a pass-through device that relays the configuration information from the network management service to the network device.
