In the Huawei Agile Cloud Network Solution, routers are plug-and-play and can automatically register with the cloud management platform over the Internet for zero touch deployment. Additionally, cloud-managed routers allow delivering operations through the cloud management platform anytime, anywhere, achieving fast batch service configuration.

In Figure 6-5, the egress gateway also functions as the DHCP server, which is configured with Option 148 containing the cloud management platform's address information. Using DHCP, routers obtain the cloud management platform's address information and become plug and play. This networking applies to the enterprise-built cloud management platforms that are not connected to the Huawei device registration query center.

In Figure 6-6, the Huawei device registration query center is deployed in the cloud managed network solution. The cloud management platform synchronizes the device information imported by administrators to the registration center in real time. Routers then send requests to the registration center, automatically obtain the cloud management platform's address information, and become plug and play. This networking applies to the Huawei public cloud management platform and MSP-built (including enterprise-built) cloud management platforms that are connected to the Huawei device registration query center.
