Abstract:
A customer premises device may include a memory configured to store day 0 configuration instructions, a first network interface to couple to an out-of-band network, a second network interface operatively coupled to a customer network, and at least one processor configured to automatically and without user input execute the day 0 configuration instructions. The at least one processor is configured to establish and maintain a secure tunnel connection with a security gateway device via the out-of-band network and to establish a connection with a configuration platform on the provider network via the secure tunnel connection. Orchestration instructions for configuring one or more VNFs are received from the configuration platform via the tunnel connection. The at least one processor is further configured to receive VNF management instructions via the secure tunnel connection, wherein the VNF management instructions include one of: updates, reconfigurations, or patches.
Abstract:
A method may include receiving a sales order for a customer telecommunications service associated with an enterprise customer. The sales order includes at least one location associated with the enterprise customer. The method includes determining at least one service order based on the customer telecommunications system and each at least one location, and determining a plurality of work orders to implement each of the at least one service order. The method also includes generating a task to collect customer configuration data associated with each of the plurality of work orders and collecting the customer configuration data based on the task to collect the customer configuration data. The method further includes releasing the plurality of work orders and a relationship between the plurality of work orders to a provisioning workflow management device. The provisioning workflow management device is configured to implement provisioning based on the collected customer configuration data.

Abstract:
A device may receive a request to establish a connection between a first device and a second device. The request may include information identifying a network connectivity type. The device may determine one or more network devices to provision based on the network connectivity type; determine, based on the network connectivity type, provisioning parameters used to provision the one or more network devices; and provision the one or more network devices in accordance with the provisioning parameters to establish the connection between the first device and the second device.

Abstract:
A device may receive a request to establish a connection between a first device and a second device. The request may include information identifying a network connectivity type. The device may determine one or more network devices to provision based on the network connectivity type; determine, based on the network connectivity type, provisioning parameters used to provision the one or more network devices; and provision the one or more network devices in accordance with the provisioning parameters to establish the connection between the first device and the second device.
