    Abstract: A method of authorizing an access point includes receiving a first transmission signal from a first access point. The first transmission signal comprises identifying information of the first access point that includes a first token. The method includes receiving a second transmission signal from a client device. The second transmission signal includes a second token that is received by the client device from an un-provisioned access point. When a match is determined between the first token and the second token, the first access point is identified as the un-provisioned access point. The method includes transmitting the identifying information of the first access point and a request to the client device to authorize the un-provisioned access point. The method includes receiving a third transmission signal from the client device that includes an authorization verification of the un-provisioned access point that authorities the un-provisioned access point to connect to a cloud-managed network.

    Abstract: A method of authenticating a device management system of a cloud-managed network includes transmitting a first transmission signal, from an access point, to a secondary port of the device management system. The first transmission signal comprises a first request of the access point to connect to the cloud-managed network. When the access point is incompatible with the cloud-managed network, the access point receives a re-direction instruction from the device management system to redirect the access point to a predefined Internet address to provide compatibility data for the access point. The method further includes that in response to receiving the compatibility data, transmitting a second transmission signal to the secondary port that includes a second request to connect to the cloud-managed network. The method include that in response to authentication by the access point, receiving an instruction from the secondary port to connect via a primary port to the cloud-managed network.

    Abstract: An example access point may comprise a processing resource; and a memory resource storing machine-readable instructions to cause the processing resource to: perform a management system search using a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP); determine, in view of the management system search, whether a management system discovered is a controller; and select one of a first role within a centralized local area network and a second role within a distributed local area network based on determining whether the management system is the controller, wherein the first role within the centralized local area network is selected when the management system is the controller.

    Abstract: A network management system may receive, via a wide area network (WAN), a request to register a pending network device with an entity. The network management system may, in response to receiving the request to register the pending network device with the entity, determine whether the pending network device is able to communicate, via a local area network (LAN) associated with the entity, with a registered network device that is already registered with the entity. The network management system may, in response to at least determining that the pending network device is able to communicate via the LAN with the registered network device, register the pending network device with the entity.
