Original Abstract Submitted
One aspect can provide a system and method for emulating the onboarding of networking devices. During operation, a computing device can obtain from a device-activation platform a list of networking devices to be onboarded to a device-management platform method. For a respective networking device on the list of networking devices, the system can collect hardware and firmware information associated with the respective networking device and emulate an onboarding process of the respective networking device using the collected hardware and firmware information, which comprises exchanging one or more handshake messages with the device-activation platform. In response to failing to receive, from the device-management platform, a confirmation message indicating the emulated onboarding process being successful, the system can perform a diagnostic operation to determine one or more potential issues associated with the onboarding process of the respective networking device and display, on a user interface, outcome of the diagnostic operation.
