Zero Touch Provisioning limitations

The following limitations apply to the Zero Touch Provisioning feature.

By default, Zero Touch Provisioning is always enabled on a management port.

Zero Touch Provisioning fails on a management port which has a static address configured on
it.

Zero Touch Provisioning does not support trunked ports or Link Aggregation Control Protocol
(LACP) ports.

During the Zero Touch Provisioning update, the existing configuration takes precedence over
any configuration downloaded from the TFTP server.

VE and VLAN numbers that are chosen for Zero Touch Provisioning cannot be used for other
configurations.

Upgrade and downgrade considerations

During a network upgrade procedure, the downloaded configuration files (as a part of the Zero
Touch Provisioning process) may contain commands that cannot be executed using the current
software version. In such a scenario, download the configuration files after a system reboot
following the image download.

During a network downgrade procedure, inspect the running configuration, because the
system ignores errors due to incompatible commands from the previous configuration.
