Registration Token for Disaster Recovery

Use Case 1: CPE Loses Connectivity to the Internet

The Generate Registration Token feature allows you to apply configuration from the portal directly to the CPE through its diagnostic portal. This feature serves as a disaster recovery mechanism when the CPE has lost connectivity to the portal due to a misconfiguration—for example, a typo in the WAN IP address or VLAN settings.

Use Case 2: CPE Registration Fails

The second use case occurs during CPE registration. When a Bumblebee device is created, a security token is generated and embedded in the device. This token is used during the device registration process with the platform. In the rare event that registration fails, a new token can be generated and applied to the device to complete the registration successfully.

This document explains how to generate a new token and apply it to the CPE.

1. Login to the Bumblebee platform

2. Click Internet CPE at the left navigation bar

3. Select the desired CPE, click Actions -> Generate Registration Token
