Abstract: The present technology is directed to an automated end to end network migration process from on-premise to cloud-based management platforms and visa-versa. The disclosed technology describes an enhanced plug and play (PnP) software agent operationally coupled to a device and capable of interacting with a PnP service hosted on a target management platform to thereby initiate the migration process. The PnP service on the target management platform upon receiving a migration request from the device PnP agent, maps the requesting device onto a client profile existing on the target management platform and identifies therefrom the associated default controller for the device. Subsequently, the device is directed to acquire and boot up on a new software image compatible with the target management platform and following a conversion of its existing configuration into a version compatible with the new software image, the device is migrated to the associated default controller.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide for provisioning network access using a tenant service set identifier (SSID) or an SSID of a specified duration and distributed authorization. A network management system can provision a wireless local area network (WLAN) and the SSID in an access point to enable a primary guest device to access the WLAN for a specified time period (e.g., a start time and end time). The network management system can cause the SSID and authentication data (e.g., authentication token, Pre-Shared Key (PSK), etc.) to be transmitted for receipt by the first client device. After the start time and in response to successfully authenticating the first client device, the first client device can authorize a second client device to access the WLAN. The network management system or the AP can disable access to the network via the SSID at the end time.
