Zero-Touch Provisioning for Routers and Switches: DHCPv6-PD, NETCONF, and RESTCONF

By: Relington, James

Zero-Touch Provisioning for Routers and Switches: DHCPv6-PD, NETCONF, and RESTCONF explores the evolution of automated network initialization, configuration, and lifecycle management in the era of model-driven architectures. The book examines how Zero-Touch Provisioning transforms network operations through standardized protocols such as DHCPv6-PD, NETCONF, RESTCONF, and YANG, integrating them into orchestration frameworks that enable scalable, secure, and intent-based automation. Covering topics from Day-0 bootstrapping and trust establishment to CI/CD integration, telemetry, and closed-loop validation, it provides a comprehensive view of how routers and switches can configure themselves intelligently and autonomously. Designed for engineers, architects, and automation specialists, it blends technical precision with practical insights drawn from real-world deployments, guiding readers toward building self-configuring, resilient, and future-ready network infrastructures.
