Abstract
Methods, systems and computer readable media for zero touch attachment of devices, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices, to an SPB network are described.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a shortest path bridging attach system, a first shortest path bridging attach request message from a device, the first shortest path bridging attach request message including a request to map untagged network traffic from the device to a bootstrap I-SID;
- mapping, at the shortest path bridging attach system, untagged traffic from the device to the bootstrap I-SID;
- establishing, at the shortest path bridging attach system, communication between the device and a bootstrap application associated with the bootstrap I-SID;
- sending, from the shortest path bridging attach system, direction to the device from the bootstrap application for the device to join an actual I-SID;
- receiving, at the shortest path bridging attach system, a second shortest path bridging attach request message from the device, the second shortest path bridging attach request message including a request to map untagged network traffic from the device to the actual I-SID, wherein the actual I-SID is associated with a logical network segment dedicated to the device;
- and
- mapping, at the shortest path bridging attach system, untagged traffic from the device to the actual I-SID and isolating network data sent and received by device within the logical network segment dedicated to the device.

A shortest path bridging attach system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a nontransitory computer readable medium having stored there on software instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:
- receiving, at the shortest path bridging attach system, a first shortest path bridging attach request message from a device, the first shortest path bridging attach request message including a request to map untagged network traffic from the device to a bootstrap I-SID;
- mapping, at the shortest path bridging attach system, untagged traffic from the device to the bootstrap I-SID;
- establishing, at the shortest path bridging attach system, communication between the device and a bootstrap application associated with the bootstrap I-SID;
- sending, from the shortest path bridging attach system, direction to the device from the bootstrap application for the device to join an actual I-SID;
- receiving, at the shortest path bridging attach system, a second shortest path bridging attach request message from the device, the second shortest path bridging attach request message including a request to map untagged network traffic from the device to the actual I-SID, wherein the actual I-SID is associated with a logical network segment dedicated to the device;
- and
- mapping, at the shortest path bridging attach system, untagged traffic from the device to the actual I-SID and isolating network data sent and received by device within the logical network segment dedicated to the device.
