Provisioning
Provisioning refers to the process of acquiring and applying new settings for the VSP716A
using configuration files retrieved from a remote computer. After a VSP716A is deployed,
subsequent provisioning can update the VSP716A with new settings; for example, if your
service provider releases new features. See also
“Provisioning Using Configuration Files”
With automatic provisioning, you enable the VSP716A to get its settings automatically—the
process occurs in the background as part of routine system operation. Automatic
provisioning can apply to multiple devices simultaneously.
With manual provisioning on the WebUI, you update the VSP716A settings (configuration
and/or firmware) yourself via
Provisioning > Import Configuration
and/or
Firmware
Upgrade > Manual Upgrade
. Manual provisioning can only be performed on one
VSP716A at a time.
On the Provisioning page, you can enter settings that will enable the VSP716A to receive
automatic configuration and firmware updates. The Provisioning page also allows you to
manually update VSP716A configuration from a locally stored configuration file using an
Import function. You can also export the VSP716A configuration—either to back it up or
apply the configuration to another VSP716A in the future—to a file on your computer.
The provisioning process functions according to the Resynchronization settings and
Provisioning Server Settings. The VSP716A checks for the provisioning URL from the
following sources in the order listed below:
1. PnP—Plug and Play Subscribe and Notify protocol
