Zero-Touch Provisioning To address network provisioning challenges, Cisco introduces a zero-touch provisioning model. This module describes the Zero-Touch Provisioning feature. The Zero-Touch Provisioning feature is enabled automatically; no configuration is required. Note Restrictions for Zero-Touch Provisioning, on page 1 Information About Zero-Touch Provisioning, on page 1 Sample Zero-Touch Provisioning Configurations, on page 10 Additional References for Zero-Touch Provisioning, on page 38 Feature Information for Zero-Touch Provisioning, on page 39 Restrictions for Zero-Touch Provisioning • Zero-touch provisioning is not supported on Cisco Catalyst 9200L SKUs.
Information About Zero-Touch Provisioning This section provides information about the DHCP server configuration, DHCPv6 support, Secure ZTP, bootstrapping information, and so on. Zero-Touch Provisioning Overview Zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) provides open bootstrap interfaces to automate network device provisioning in heterogeneous network environments. When a device that supports ZTP starts up, and does not find the startup configuration (during initial installation), the device enters the zero-touch provisioning mode. The device searches for a DHCP server, bootstraps itself with its interface IP address, gateway, and Domain Name System (DNS) server IP address, and enables Guest Shell.
The device then obtains the IP address or URL of an HTTP or a TFTP server, and downloads the Python script from an HTTP or a TFTP server to configure the device. Zero-Touch Provisioning 1
