Automatic registration of CPE (ZTP) devices
New CPE devices must be automatically registered using an URL with basic settings. The automatic device registration scenario involves the following steps:
- Switching the CPE device firmware to the initial condition
For automatic registration, the firmware of the CPE device must be in the initial condition. To reset the firmware to its initial condition, connect to the CPE device console via SSH and execute the following command:
firstboot && reboot - Creating a CPE template
Create a CPE template. You can use the created CPE template to configure other devices. This step is optional if already have a CPE template.
- Adding a CPE device
Add a CPE device. When adding the CPE device, assign a previously created template to it and select whether the device must automatically turn on after registration. The added CPE device has the Waiting status.
- Two-factor authentication
If you want to register your CPE device securely, use two-factor authentication. This step is optional.
- Generating an URL with basic settings
- Registering the CPE device
Do the following:
- Connect to the LAN interface of the CPE device and get an IP address via DHCP.
- Visit the URL with the basic settings of the CPE device or open the HTML file that you saved when generating the URL.
- On the opened page, click the Apply configuration button.
- Wait until the basic settings are applied and the CPE device is restarted.
If the settings are applied successfully, the CPE device connects to the orchestrator and is matched with the previously added record in the web interface; the CPE device is then registered automatically. A registered device has the Registered status and is in the Activated or Deactivated state.
- Enabling the CPE device
If, when adding the CPE device, you specified that it must not be enabled automatically, enable the device. An enabled CPE device has the Registered status and is in the Activated state. This step is optional.
