The device bootstrap process is a process that automatically makes un-provisioned
devices available for configuration through CVP. Un-provisioned devices automatically boot
up in Zero Touch Provisioning mode and register themselves with the CloudVision Portal
(CVP). Once they are registered with CVP, devices become available for configuration in the
Undefined Container.
-
Un-provisioned devices boot into Zero Touch Provisioning mode and send out a
DHCP request.
-
The DHCP server then assigns the device an IP Address and returns a URL
pointing to the CloudVision portal in the bootfile-name option. The URL with IP
address will be like this//ipaddress/ztp/bootstrap .
-
The device executes this bootstrap script and registers itself with the
CloudVision Portal. At this point, the device is available in the Undefined
Container.
You can now add the device to the destination container of your choice and
apply the correct image and configuration to the device.
