Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for performing a cloud-based authentication of a mesh point are described. A mesh point can send out a probe request that includes information indicating that the mesh point has entered a cloud-based porting mode. Upon receiving the probe request, the mesh portal sends an authentication request to a cloud system. The cloud system returns an authentication response indicating whether the mesh point has been authenticated. If successfully authenticated, the cloud system or a device forming part of the mesh deployment such as a virtual controller pushes the mesh configuration to the mesh point. In this manner, a mesh point can be configured with the correct mesh configuration without having to first push the mesh configuration to the mesh point at a common staging location and then physically move the mesh point to its serving location, as is the case in conventional mesh deployments.

Abstract: One aspect can provide a system and method for emulating the onboarding of networking devices. During operation, a computing device can obtain from a device-activation platform a list of networking devices to be onboarded to a device-management platform method. For a respective networking device on the list of networking devices, the system can collect hardware and firmware information associated with the respective networking device and emulate an onboarding process of the respective networking device using the collected hardware and firmware information, which comprises exchanging one or more handshake messages with the device-activation platform. In response to failing to receive, from the device-management platform, a confirmation message indicating the emulated onboarding process being successful, the system can perform a diagnostic operation to determine one or more potential issues associated with the onboarding process of the respective networking device and display, on a user interface, outcome of the diagnostic operation.
