Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) is a technology for automated deployment and configuration of network devices. AmpCon™-DC supports using ZTP to provision new switches. You
ZTP relies on the DHCP service, and thus you need to configure DHCP first. After you plug in and reboot the switch, DHCP automatically provides the switch with an IP address and the address of a provision script that is obtained from AmpCon-DC server. The switch automatically runs the script to find the AmpCon-DC server, register with it, and then complete the PicOS® installation and configuration without manual intervention.
...
Ensure that the Hardware ID of the switch to provision has been added to the AmpCon-DC license. For more information, see Preparing Licenses.
Before you provision a white-box switch, ensure that you have completed step 1 to 7 in Deploying White-Box Switches.
Before you provision an integrated hardware and software switch, ensure that you have completed step 1 to 5 in Deploying Integrated Hardware and Software Switches.
Install a DHCP server. ZTP relies on the DHCP service. Then, In the /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf file of the DHCP server, add information as follows.
Replace “10.10.51.4” with the IP addresses of address that you want to assign to the switch to provision.
Replace “10.56.20.180” with the IP address of the AmpCon-DC server.
...
Download and install MobaXterm.
Open MobaXterm, and then create a session to connect with the switch.
Reboot the switch by running the following command:
sudo reboot -f |
|---|
During the reboot process, when you see “Hit any key to stop autoboot: x”, press the Enter key to exit the autoboot mode.Run .
For switches with the ONIE menu, reboot by using the ONIE menu.
For switches without the ONIE menu, reboot by running the following command:
run onie bootcmd |
|---|
Then, the switch will be restarted and automatically register with the AmpCon-DC server. Wait for the registration process to complete.
