Abstract:
Provided are devices, computer-program products, and methods for automatic provisioning of an access point. In some implementations, a network device may connect to a network. Connecting may include automatically receiving a group name. In some implementations, a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) request may be transmitted. A DHCP response message may also be received. The DHCP response message may provide an Internet Protocol (IP) address. The IP addressed may facilitate communication by the network device with the network. Controller information may be received. The controller information may include a controller IP address. Provisioning information may be requested. This request may include the group name and the controller IP address. Provisioning information may be received. Provisioning information may be associated with the controller IP address. The provisioning information may facilitate self-configuration of a network device. The operation of the network device may be configured using the provisioning information.
