Methods and systems for loading a boot agent on a router network device

Abstract

Systems and methods described herein may perform processing associated with loading, with a boot agent injection module in communication with a processor; a boot agent into a memory of a network device comprising a processor; and perform processing associated with using the boot agent to configure, with the network device, the network device to connect to a remote computer.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 loading, with a boot agent injection module in communication with a processor, a boot agent into a memory of a router network device comprising a processor; and
 using the boot agent to configure, with the router network device, the router network device to connect to a remote computer. 
   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising provisioning the router network device with a complex configuration in a zero touch manner. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising enabling the router network device to connect to a provisioning engine using the boot agent. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , further comprising fully provisioning the router network device using the provisioning engine. 
     
     
         5 . A system comprising:
 a processor configured for:   loading, with a boot agent injection module in communication with a processor, a boot agent into a memory of a router network device comprising a processor; and   using the boot agent to configure, with the router network device, the router network device to connect to a remote computer.   
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured for provisioning the router network device with a complex configuration in a zero touch manner. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured for enabling the router network device to connect to a provisioning engine using the boot agent. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured for fully provisioning the router network device using the provisioning engine.
