The IESG has received a request from the Operations and Management Area Working Group WG (opsawg) to consider the following document: - 'Secure Device Install' <draft-ietf-opsawg-sdi-08.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the last-call@ietf.org mailing lists by 2020-05-06. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Deploying a new network device in a location where the operator has no staff of its own often requires that an employee physically travel to the location to perform the initial install and configuration, even in shared datacenters with "smart-hands" type support. In many cases, this could be avoided if there were a secure way to initially provision the device. This document extends existing auto-install / Zero-Touch Provisioning mechanisms to make the process more secure.
