With zero touch functionality, VOSS switches are automatically discovered on the network within minutes of when they are connected.

Zero Touch Provisioning Plus (ZTP+) enables you to deploy and configure VOSS switches in Extreme Management Center or ExtremeCloud IQ - Site Engine with minimal server configuration and intervention. ZTP+ enabled switches send information, such as the serial number, software version, MAC, management IP, and port information to Extreme Management Center or ExtremeCloud IQ - Site Engine automatically.

When the switch powers on, the DHCP Client obtains the IP address and gateway from the DHCP server, discovers the Domain Name Server, and connects the switch to Extreme Management Center or ExtremeCloud IQ - Site Engine.

ZTP+ uses HTTPS for communication between the switch and the Extreme Management Center or ExtremeCloud IQ - Site Engine server. The switch discovers theExtreme Management Center or ExtremeCloud IQ - Site Engine server by resolving the DNS name extremecontrol.<domain-name>.
