US Patent 11546228 Zero-touch configuration of network devices using hardware metadata

The present is directed to systems, methods, and devices for Zero Touch Provisioning (“ZTP”). The system can include a data center computing network, and at least one server coupled with the data center computing network. The server can receive a trigger signal from a triggering device coupled to a data center hardware network, transmit an executable script to the triggering device, which executable script instructs the triggering device to generate a definition file including a unique identifier of the triggering device, receive the definition file from the triggering device, identify a configuration file associated with the triggering device based at least in part on the unique identifier, and provision the triggering device by delivering the configuration file to the triggering device.
