Secure Provisioning

The Secure Provisioning module leverages these technologies:

• ZTP (Zero Touch Provisioning): The process by which managed devices in their unconfigured state request and are delivered initial setup resources over the local management network

• Human-readable YAML language: Provides simplified configuration of managed device ZTP configuration parameters

• Git source control: Managed Device resources such as initial configuration files and OS images are automatically stored in a versioned, auditable repository

• Ansible automation framework: Automatically propagates device resources and configures on-site ZTP services

The Secure Provisioning module combines a centrally orchestrated, vendor-neutral ZTP service with on-site node LAN and WAN connectivity, to automate the provisioning process end to end.

IP ACCESS vs Automation Gateway

Using IP Access, the user must establish a VPN tunnel from their computer to Lighthouse, which then provides them with a routed connection to the entire network(s) connected to the remote node. Once the tunnel is up, the user can access any network service on any network device by their standard management IP addresses.

AUTOMATION GATEWAY

Using the Automation Gateway feature, the user clicks through their existing Lighthouse browser session to access HTTP/HTTPS web GUI services of specific devices that have been discovered by the remote node. Access is limited to these services only, and the connections are proxied via Lighthouse's central address – so no client or network reconfiguration is required.
