Abstract
Methods and systems for deploying management tunnels between managed and managing devices are provided. According to one embodiment, network devices, including a peer managed device, a management device and a trusted peer managed device are deployed within a network. The network devices are pre-configured to form a web of trust by storing within each network device (i) a digital certificate signed by a manufacturer or a distributor and (ii) a unique identifier. The peer managed device establishes a management tunnel with the management device based on an address received from an external source. Prior to allowing the management device to use the management tunnel to perform management functionality, the peer managed device verifies credentials of the managed device by causing its unique identifier to be confirmed with reference to a pre-configured identifier of an authorized management device stored within the peer managed device.
