Section 1: Deciding Which Provisioning Mode to Use
Before starting the deployment, you must decide which provisioning mode to use: SMB or Enterprise.
Note: SMB mode, which stands for “Small-Medium Business,” is also known as “Basic” mode, and
Enterprise mode can be divided into “Standard” and “Advanced” modes, based on whether you require
Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate-based encryption for you management traffic.
Enterprise mode can be divided into “Standard” and “Advanced” modes, based on whether you require
Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate-based encryption for you management traffic.
Several factors should be considered in deciding which provisioning mode to use, such as security
requirements, size of organization, and existing IT infrastructure.
requirements, size of organization, and existing IT infrastructure.
The primary difference between SMB and Enterprise modes is the ability to encrypt management traffic.
In the Advanced Enterprise mode, all management traffic may be encrypted with Transport Layer
Security (TLS). In SMB mode and the Standard Enterprise mode the traffic is not encrypted.
In the Advanced Enterprise mode, all management traffic may be encrypted with Transport Layer
Security (TLS). In SMB mode and the Standard Enterprise mode the traffic is not encrypted.
The other major difference in provisioning modes is how the client system receives its configuration
information. In Enterprise mode, you can use manual, one-touch, or remote configuration options, or
have your OEM pre-provision the client systems before shipment. In SMB mode, you must manually
provision each client system.
