Abstract: Technologies directed to determining a role of a network device, configuring the network device according to the role, and provisioning the network device to a network are described. In one method, the hardware configuration information and external connection information are stored by the network device. The network device determines a role using the hardware configuration information and the external connection information without any manual intervention or manual configuration. The role can be any one of a Router Node, a Storage Node, a Base Station Node, a Relay Node, a Gateway Node, or a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) Node. After recognizing the role, the network device can be configured and provisioned to the network without any manual intervention or manual configuration.
