Configuring DHCP-based ZTP with AirWave
ZTP auto-configures your switches as follows:
Procedure
1.
The switch boots up with the factory default configuration.
2.
The switch sends out a DHCP discovery from data port/OOBM.
IPv4:
• The preferred configuration method uses DHCP option 43 value as a string to parse AirWave configuration.
Switch expects a DHCP option 60 with value
ArubaInstantAP
along with DHCP option 43 to parse
AirWave details.
• The alternative configuration method supports both encapsulated values from option 43 and direct value
from option 43. Encapsulated vendor-specific sub options, with suboption code 146 is for AirWave details.
NOTE:
IPv4 DHCP sub option 146 is not supported to configure AMP information through OOBM.
IPv6:
• IPv6 uses DHCP option 17 with sub option 100 and vendor class Enterprise ID as 47196.
• DHCPv6 based ZTP on OOBM interface,
ipv6 enable
and
ipv6 address dhcp full
commands are
enabled by default on OOBM interface.
3.
After the AirWave details are verified and configured, the switch initiates the check-in into the AirWave server
using the HTTPS communication. The AirWave configuration must be in the following format:
<Group>:<Topfolder>:<folder1>,<AMP IP >,<shared secret>
4.
From 16.08, if AirWave is reachable through both OOBM and Data VLAN, switch tries to register only with
AirWave using OOBM.
5.
After a successful registration, AirWave can monitor, configure, and troubleshoot the switches. Refer to
Aruba
Networks and AirWave Switch Configuration Guide
.
6.
Check-in failure retry is done every 60 seconds for 10 retries.
7.
If DHCP does not provide AirWave details, the switch connects to Activate (Activate ZTP starts) for AirWave or
Aruba Central details. If the DHCP options are not configured for AirWave, the switch is left in its default state
for manual configuration.
