Explains the end-to-end process of onboarding Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN devices using bootstrap, covering feature history, provisioning methods, configuration steps, removal procedures, and on-site bootstrap processes with associated tasks, principles, and concepts.
Feature history for bootstrap file onboarding
Lists the development milestones and release information for one touch provisioning to onboard using generic bootstrap configuration, including feature description.
One Touch Provisioning to onboard Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN Devices using generic bootstrap configuration
Facilitates the onboarding of multiple devices to the network by utilizing a generic bootstrap configuration that omits device-specific details. This process simplifies deployment by allowing devices to connect to the controller before final template assignment.
Generic bootstrap configurations process
Describes how the generic bootstrap configuration initializes a device and integrates it into the overlay network. This process ensures secure authentication and automated connectivity for WAN edge devices.
Onboard a Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN Device using generic bootstrap configuration
Provisions a Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN Device by generating and applying a generic bootstrap configuration file. This process enables the device to connect to the network and register with Cisco SD-WAN Manager .
Remove a Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN Device onboarded using generic bootstrap configuration
Decommissions a device from the network by detaching templates, disabling the WAN interface, invalidating the device, and removing it from the controller list.
On-Site bootstrap process for Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN devices
Facilitates the initial network connectivity of a device by loading a bootstrap configuration file from a USB drive or internal boot flash. This process enables automated provisioning for devices supporting Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN.
