terminate vpex ztp

Description

Prevents automatic configuration of Extended Edge Switching topologies.

Syntax Description


vpex	Specifies Virtual Port Extender (VPEX).
ztp	Zero Touch Provision (ZTP). Automated process for configuring Extended Edge Switching topologies.

Default

If you do not run this command, automatic configuration (ZTP) occurs when an unconfigured controlling bridge (CB) (new, out of the shipping box, or manually unconfigured) is rebooted with attached bridge port extenders (BPEs).

Usage Guidelines

This command allows you to prevent automatic configuration from running. Automatic configuration is re-enabled after rebooting or running the restart process ztpstack command.

Note

Alternatively, to prevent automatic configuration from running on Extended Edge Switching topologies, you can perform some configuration on the CB prior to attaching BPEs or have a default.xsf (or other similar file) file in place.

To view the automatic configuration (ZTP) status, use the show vpex command.

Example

The following example prevents automatic configuration from running:

# terminate vpex ztp

One of the following messages appears:

VPEX ZTP successfully terminated.  Allow up to 15 seconds for the status to be reflected in the “show vpex” output.

VPEX ZTP not running. No need to terminate.

This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 32.1.
