Summary:An apparatus for securely configuring a tenant VLAN includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to detect connection of a new device to a computing system. The new device is designated for use by a new tenant and the new device in a default state prior to configuration for use by the new tenant. The computing system is a multi-tenant system. The code is executable by the processor to command the new device to enter a provisioning state in response to detecting connection of the new device. The new device in the provisioning state is unable to access operational equipment of the computing system and data stored by tenants of the computing system.
