- B
Verify that the initial device license is activated before the ZTP process begins.
- C
Check that the configuration file is accessible on the TFTP server.
- D
Ensure the device is running the latest version of its operating system before starting ZTP.
- E
Verify that there is network connectivity between the device and the TFTP server.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
In Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP), the device depends on the DHCP server to provide the TFTP or other configuration server address. It also requires network connectivity to the server to download its configuration. Additionally, the configuration file must be accessible on the server. Licensing and OS updates are not prerequisites for the ZTP process, as ZTP is intended to work with unconfigured devices.
- A. Correct.
The DHCP server must provide the TFTP server address (or other configuration server address) so the device can download its configuration during ZTP.
- B. Incorrect.
Device licensing is not required before the ZTP process. ZTP is designed to work with unconfigured, out-of-the-box devices.
- C. Correct.
The configuration file must be present and accessible on the TFTP server for the ZTP process to succeed.
- D. Incorrect.
The ZTP process does not require the device to be running the latest operating system. ZTP is designed to provision devices regardless of their initial state.
- E. Correct.
Network connectivity between the device and the TFTP server is essential for the ZTP process to succeed, as the configuration file and other settings are downloaded through this connection.
