Zero Touch Provisioning of IAPs

Zero Touch Provisioning eliminates the traditional method of deploying and maintaining devices and allows
you to provision new devices in your network automatically, without manual intervention. Following are the
zero-touch provisioning methods for Instant.
Aruba Activate is a cloud-based service designed to enable more efficient deployment and maintenance of
IAPs. Aruba activate is hosted in the cloud and is available at activate.arubanetworks.com. You can register for
a free account by using the serial number and MAC address of the device you currently own. For more
information on how to setup your device and provision using Aruba Activate, refer to the Aruba Activate User
Guide.
In order for zero-touch provisioning to be successful, the timezone of the IAP must be in synchronization with
the NTP server.
To facilitate zero-touch provisioning using the AirWave Management Platform (AMP), Central, or Activate, you
must configure the firewall and wired infrastructure to either allow the NTP traffic to pool.ntp.org, or provide
alternative NTP servers under DHCP options. For more information on configuring an NTP server, see
NTP Server.
