Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP):
ZTP is a feature that allows for the automatic provisioning of devices with minimal manual
intervention. It is widely used in large-scale deployments to quickly bring new devices online.
Key Requirements for ZTP:
A . DHCP Server: A DHCP server is crucial for ZTP as it provides the necessary information to new
devices, such as the IP address, the location of the software image, and configuration files.
D . File Server: The file server is where the software image and configuration files are stored. The
device downloads these files during the provisioning process.
Incorrect Options:
B . Syslog Server: While a syslog server is important for logging and monitoring, it is not a
requirement for the initial provisioning process.
C . NTP Server: An NTP server is used for time synchronization, which is essential for accurate logging
and operation but not specifically required for ZTP.
Data Center Reference:
ZTP simplifies the deployment process by automating the initial configuration steps, relying heavily
on DHCP for communication and a file server for delivering the necessary configuration and
software.
