Abstract
A technology is described for distributing a configuration file to network addressable devices. An example method may include receiving a configuration customization that is to be applied to the configuration settings of a non-configured network addressable device. A configuration file may be updated with the configuration customization. A request may be received to transmit the configuration file so that the configuration file may be applied to the configuration settings of the non-configured network addressable device. In response to the request, the configuration file may be identified and transmitted so that the configuration file may be applied to the configuration settings of the non-configured network addressable device, such that the configuration file may be read by the non-configured network addressable device and the configuration settings of the non-configured network addressable device may be set to values of the configuration file after powering the non-configured network addressable device for set-up.
