Recovery from a failed token

When a Bumblebee device is created a security token is generated and is embedded in the device. This token is used during the device registration phase with the platform. In a rare scenario where the registration fails, a new token can be applied to the device to facilitate the registration process again. This document explains how to generate a new token and apply to the device.

1. Login to the Bumblebee platform

2. Click Internet NIDs or Metro Ethernet NIDs at the left navigation bar

3. Select the device whose token has failed, click Actions -> Generate Registration Token

4. A pop up window should appear. Click the copy sign to copy the text string

5. Connect a laptop Ethernet interface to the ETH3 of the Bumblebee device (whose token has failed)

6. Use a browser window on the laptop and type in http://169.254.1.1:8080

7. You see the Bumblebee Device Diagnostics page. Scroll down to the section titled Registration Token.

8. Paste the newly generated token to the window. Click Save, as shown below.
