Ah I slightly misunderstood but actually you can install via ZTP using the command I mentioned: DHCP can return an option which contains a HTTP URL to a bash or python script, the router will get that an execute it. That script can then do whatever you want, i.e. download an image file, a config file, and run the commands to apply/install the image and apply the config.

hey, "ztp initiate dataport" We were discussing iPXE and not normal ZTP. iPXE is only possible via OOB management port and allows software install via DHCP options, normal ZTP will work inband but does not allow software install via DHCP options. -- tarko ___ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
