Installers with minimal technical knowledge often face challenges onboarding NGFWs at branch locations. Enhanced visibility and status monitoring for Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) addresses this by improving the NGFW activation process for branch locations, providing visibility and troubleshooting capabilities. Status monitoring for ZTP onboarding and bootstrapping offers real-time status updates in Strata Cloud Manager for administrators to review and monitor throughout the activation and onboarding process.

With status monitoring for onboarding and bootstrapping, you can monitor the detailed bootup status, including Firewall Licensing, Content Updates, Wildfire Updates, Antivirus Updates, Routing Mode Changes, and Software Upgrades. The feature introduces status bars and status spinners that reflect the progress of each stage, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the activation process. In case of any interruptions or errors, such as issues with device certificates, TSG ID validation, software updates, or content updates, the bootstrap status indicates where the process failed and allows you to immediately restart.
