ZTP File Types shows all of the USB Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) files types. With the exception of xos<serial-number>.cln files, file names must start with "ztp" (not case sensitive) to be recognized by USB ZTP.
ZTP searches for files on the USB drive in a specific order. Once a file of a higher precedence is detected, lower precedence files are not searched for.
ZTP File Types
| Order of Precedence | File Name | Description | Created by | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ztp.cln | Complete image of the switch. | Created by clone.py application with usb option. | - |
| 2 | xos<serial-number>…cln | - | ||
| 3 | ztp.lst | Output of zip, tar, or plain text file. | Created by WinZip or tar on a computer and saved to the USB drive with a file name ztp.lst. |
For zip or tar, include all of the files from the source switch you want installed on the receiving switch in this file. USB ZTP extracts the files from this compressed file, and then looks for any ztp.xsf or ztp.py scripts, and then runs them. For plain text file, list all of the file names from the source switch you want installed on the receiving switch in the plain text file, and then include all of these files on the USB drive. USB ZTP looks for any ztp.xsf or ztp.py scripts, and then runs them. |
|
4 Note: USB ZTP looks for each of these optional file types. If a file is
not present, USB ZTP continues to look for any of these other optional files.
