Enabling configuring an endpoint device

A method for enabling configuring an endpoint device the method being performed by a local bootstrap server, the method comprising:

• receiving a parameter request, the parameter request comprising a reference to a storage server for obtaining one or more device parameters, wherein the endpoint device is on a local network also comprising the local bootstrap server;
• obtaining the device parameters from the storage server based on the reference;
• determining that the endpoint device supports a server-assisted bootstrapping procedure;
• obtaining remote bootstrap data from a remote bootstrap server being external to the local network;
• generating a bootstrap data structure based on the device parameters and the remote bootstrap data;
• transmitting a command to a network access server to configure the local network;
• receiving a bootstrap request from the endpoint device;
• and
• transmitting the bootstrap data structure to the endpoint device.

• transmitting a network access request to a network access server, the network access request comprising a parameter request, the parameter request comprising a reference to a storage server for obtaining one or more device parameters, wherein the endpoint device is on a local network also comprising the network access server;
• receiving a network resource allocation message;
• transmitting a bootstrap request to a remote bootstrap server being external to the local network;
• and
• receiving a bootstrap data structure from a local bootstrap server being on the same local network as the endpoint device.
