FIGURE 198 Zero Touch Provisioning
Zero Touch Provisioning consists of the following steps.
1. The IP address validation and lease negotiation enables the DHCP client to automatically
obtain and configure an IP address.
a. As the Brocade device comes online, it checks if the DHCP client is enabled on any of the
data ports.
b. If no data port is enabled, the device tries to obtain an address on the management port.
NOTE
The management port is not enabled by default and needs to be enabled manually for the
feature to operate.
If the management port is configured with a static IP address, the Zero Touch Provisioning
feature is automatically disabled.
2. The TFTP flash image is downloaded and updated. The device compares the file names of the
requested flash image and the image stored in flash memory. If the names are different, the
device downloads the new image from a TFTP server and writes the downloaded image to flash
memory.
3. The Zero Touch Provisioning feature supports update of the existing monitor image and reload
of the device.
4. The device downloads configuration files from a TFTP server and saves them as the running
configuration.
