Device Onboarding

DEVICE ONBOARDING

New devices are configured by hand from wiki pages of varying age. Deployment is slow, no two builds are identical, and misconfigurations surface weeks later as security findings.

Actors

  • Network Engineer
  • Deployment Engineer
  • NOC Manager

Systems / Vendors

  • Cisco DNA Center
  • Ansible
  • Infoblox

Business Question

"Two engineers onboarding the same model of switch produce two different configurations — which one is the standard?"

What SPoG Does

  • Streamlines configuration and activation of new devices from validated golden templates.
  • Verifies each build automatically against standards before it goes live.
  • Cuts deployment lead time from days of engineering to a repeatable, auditable process.
