ZTP relies on the DHCP service, and thus you need to configure DHCP first. After you plug in and reboot a switch, DHCP automatically provides the switch with an IP address and the address of a provision shell script that is obtained from AmpCon-DC server. Then, the switch automatically execute run the shell script to complete the ZTP deployment. The ZTP deployment for white-box switches and integrated hardware and software switches are different:
White-box switches : Download run the shell script to download a PicOS image, install PicOS and its license, register with the AmpCon-DC server, update switch configurations, and reboot the switch.
Integrated hardware and software switches : Register run the shell script to register with the AmpCon-DC server, install a PicOS license on the switch, update switch configurations, and reboot the switch.
...
The Hardware ID of the switch to provision has been are added to the AmpCon-DC license. For more information, see Preparing Licenses.
For white-box switches, step 1 to 7 in Deploying White-Box Switches have been are completed.
For integrated hardware and software switches, step 1 to 5 in Deploying Integrated Hardware and Software Switches have been are completed.
You have installed a DHCP server and added configurations as follows to the DHCP configuration file (/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf):
- For white-box switches, refer to the following configuration example:
...
“10.56.20.180” is the IP address of the AmpCon-DC server.
...
...
For integrated hardware and software switches, refer to the following configuration example:
“10.10.51.198” is the IP address that you want to assign to the switch.
...
Wait for the registration process to be completed.
...
Log in to In the AmpCon-DC UI, click Service > Switch. You can see Check whether the switch status of the switch is shown as Provisioning Success.

Provisioning an Integrated Hardware and Software Switch
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 |

...
The Then, the switch will be restarted and automatically register with and connect to the AmpCon-DC server.
Wait for the registration process to be completed.
