DescriptionConsiderations for Onboarding Headless IOT Devices
SolutionRegistration Method: The devices need to be registered either manually or automatically using Device Profiler. Refer to the following Online Help topics:
Device Profiler
Register A Host As A Device
Authentication: The devices have to be evaluated for whatever authentication capabilities that they can be configured with.
Example: Pre-configured with WPA2 credentials from the manufacturer.
Provision Access: The devices need to be provisioned for network access using Network Device Roles or Network Access Policies. Refer to the following Online Help topics:
Network Device Roles
Network Access Policies
Any Additional Required Configurations: Should these devices get connected to an existing VLAN/SSID or does a new VLAN/SSID need to be provisioned? If new VLANs or SSIDs are configured, ensure Network Sentry learns about them (as they are not learned dynamically). To update a specific controller model or switch, select the model in Topology and click Read Roles, Read VLANs or Resync Interfaces.
