Zero Touch Deployment over a Wireless Wide Area Network

摘要

Presented herein are techniques for enabling the zero touch deployment of devices having an integrated wireless wide area network (WWAN) interface. In one example, a device with a wireless wide area network interface is initialized and attaches to the wireless wide area network. The device receives, via the integrated wireless wide area network interface, a data message that includes a configuration file for the device. The device extracts the configuration file from the data message and uses the configuration file to perform configuration operations.

1. A method comprising:
sending a data message towards a device having an integrated wireless wide area network (WWAN) interface, wherein the data message includes a configuration file for the device and is sent before the device attaches to the WWAN; holding the data message in the WWAN; initializing the device such that the device attaches to the WWAN; after the device attaches to the WWAN, forwarding the data message to the device; receiving, via the WWAN interface of the device, the data message; extracting the configuration file from the data message; and performing self-configuration of the device using the configuration file.
