Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for new network device provisioning without Internet access. One method may include a method of network device provisioning without Internet access, the method including entering a pre-shared key (PSK) in a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) message, obtaining the PSK from a set of DHCP message options by an onboarding network device requesting to join a private network, presenting the PSK, by the onboarding network device, to a network management system (NMS) of the private network, validating the PSK by the NMS, and updating an inventory list of the NMS to include the onboarding network device in the inventory list.
