Juniper Zero Touch Provisioning in action on QFX 5100

Juniper ZTP (Zero Touch Provisioning) feature allows us to provision an out-of-the-box Juniper QFX switch without remote hands (to the cli).

ZTP can be triggered either after a system factory defaults (>request system zeroize) or by enabling dhcp client on an interface facing the dhcp server or by committing # set chassis auto-image-upgrade .

In order for ZTP to function, the DHCPD server needs to provide DHCP option 43 and suboptions 00, 01, 02 and 03 representing the QFX 5100 Junos image, QFX Configuration file, filetype and transfer mode (ftp) and option 150 representing the ftp server IP address.
