Enabling or Disabling ZTP

NOTE:

By default, ZTP is enabled on PicOS switches. If ZTP is left enabled, the PicOS switch will try to download a new script every time the switch is booted. This is not a desirable situation, so ZTP should be disabled when it is no longer needed.

Four methods are supported to disable or enable ZTP, as detailed below:

Enable or disable ZTP through running the provision script. To generate the corresponding provision script, select options of 5 and 6 when running the generate_script, as shown below.

you are suggested to select this option at last, or the option may be invalid.

Enable or disable ZTP through the command set system ztp enable <true | false> in PICOS configuration mode. The following example disables ZTP using the command set system ztp enable <true | false>:

dmin@XorPlus# set system ztp enable false
admin@XorPlus# commit

Enable or disable ZTP via the ztp-config script included with PicOS. The following example disables ZTP using the ztp-config script run from the Linux shell:

admin@LEAF-A$sudo ztp-config
Please configure the default PicOS ZTP options:
    (Press other key if no change)
         [1]  PicOS ZTP enabled   * default
         [2]  PicOS ZTP disabled
Enter your choice (1,2):2
PicOS ZTP is disabled.
admin@LEAF-A$

Manually edit the PicOS configuration file picos_start.conf and change the value of the ztp_disable variable. The following snippet from the PicOS configuration file shows that ZTP has been disabled (ztp_disable=true).

admin@LEAF-A$more /etc/picos/picos_start.conf | grep ztp
ztp_disable=true

To enable ZTP, you need to set ztp_disable to false.
