Enhanced onboarding and bootstrapping visibility for Strata Cloud Manager improves the NGFW activation process for branch locations, providing visibility and troubleshooting capabilities. This feature addresses the challenges faced by installers with minimal technical knowledge who are responsible for onboarding firewalls. Enhanced visibility for onboarding and bootstrapping offers real-time status updates to administrators throughout the process.

With enhanced visibility for onboarding and bootstrapping, you can monitor the detailed bootup status, including the license download, content upgrade, software upgrade, and configuration push. The feature introduces status bars 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.
