Device Onboarding Workflow
The workflow for onboarding a new device (greenfield device) includes creating network resource pools, device and interface profiles, and a network implementation plan. The network implementation plan includes instructions about the type of pluggables and cables that a field technician must use for the device ports.
Table 1 lists the different personas and the roles in Paragon Automation that are involved in onboarding a device.
| Persona | Role in Paragon Automation |
|---|---|
Network architect | Super User or Network Admin |
Network planner | Super User or Network Admin |
Field Technician | Installer |
NOC Engineer (Network administrator) | Super User or Network Admin |
To onboard a device to Paragon Automation:
You can onboard a brownfield device to Paragon Automation without adding the device to a network implementation plan. In this case, you will be able to onboard the device to Paragon Automation, but cannot view the device and health metrics for the device. However, you can add the device to a network implementation plan and then adopt the device, in which case, you can monitor the device and interface health of the device.
To onboard a brownfield device by adding it to a network implementation plan:
Create a device and interface profile with Trust enabled (in device profile) and all other configurations disabled. See Add a Device Profile and Add an Interface Profile.
Create a network implementation plan and add the device profile and interface profile to the network implementation plan. See Add a Network Implementation Plan.
Add the device to the network implementation plan.
Publish the network implementation plan. See Publish a Network Implementation Plan.
After a device is onboarded to Paragon Automation and listed in the Inventory page (Inventory > Network Inventory), you can monitor the device and interface health from the Device accordion and Interface accordion on the device-name page. See About the Device-Name Page.
