Using ZTP

Follow these steps to enable ZTP in standalone mode.

1. Establish a network connection with cable on one-to-multiple in-band ports or a management interface.
2. Power up the device in the factory default configuration or run the write erase command from the SLX-OS CLI.
3. On device boot up, the ZTP process performs the following actions:
   1. Disables the RASlog to the serial output.
   2. Enables in-band ports in the management VRF.
   3. Detects a DHCP server with option 66 or 67 or 43 configured over a management interface and all in-band port interfaces.

      Option 43 is used when the DHCP server supports HTTPS protocol.

   4. Selects one interface not used before to assign the DHCP IP address.
   5. Downloads the ZTP configuration file from the FTP/HTTP/HTTPS server depending on the configured option.
   6. Validates the ZTP configuration file.
   7. If required, ZTP performs a firmware download. Firmware download reboots the device automatically. If no firmware download is needed, the ZTP process continues to configure the switch.
   In the current state the ZTP process returns to substep (b) in the following situations:

   • If there is a failure in any of the above-mentioned substeps from (b) through (g)
   • If the device reboots from the CLI
   • If the device crashes
   On device bootup, the continuation of the ZTP process is indicated on the console. Wait for firmware commit to complete. If the firmware commit fails, the ZTP process aborts. If the script is enabled, the script is launched automatically.
4. Enable the RASlog.
