ABSTRACT:
According to an approach for securely deploying and configuring network devices, a secure introduction connection is established between a network device being deployed and a registrar. The secure introduction connection may conform to a secure communications protocol, such as HTTPS. The registrar provides bootstrap configuration data to the network device over the secure introduction connection. The bootstrap configuration data is used to establish a secure management connection between the network device and a secure management gateway. The secure management connection may conform to a secure communications protocol, such as IPsec or HTTPS. The secure management gateway provides user-specific configuration data and security policy data to the network device over the secure management connection. The user-specific configuration data and policy data are used to establish a secure data connection, such as a Dynamic Multipoint Virtual Private Network (DMVPN) connection, between the network device and the secure data gateway.
