Abstract
A method for zero-touch provisioning is disclosed. The method includes receiving a customer specification of network requirements exclusively specified for a CPE assigned to a specific customer at a specific customer premises. The CSNR includes information describing the premises and information describing an intended operation of the CPE. The method also includes storing a job assignment including a unique CPE identity and service information for the provisioning of the CPE. The identity is linked to the customer through the job assignment. The method also includes provisioning a class of service template exclusively for providing the intended operation of the CPE at the customer premises and paired with the CPE identity through the job assignment. The method also includes receiving a provisioning request sent by the CPE to a FQDN pointed at the ZTP server and including the CPE identity. Finally, the method includes pushing the COS template to the CPE.
