Router deployment

From a bird's-eye view, the process of deploying a new router in the network is as follows:

1. Manually configure the router such that it is reachable from out-of-band (OOB).
2. Upgrade the router to the most recent OS.
3. Deploy base configuration.
4. Configure trunks to connect the router to the network.
5. Update the protocol meshes (such as iBGP).
6. Promote the router to the production environment.
