QuestionQ122

Automation

A network engineer requires a solution that streamlines the initial deployment of Cisco Nexus Series Switches. The solution must meet these requirements:

  • zero-touch provisioning
  • configuration via DHCP options
  • initial configuration from a central TFTP server
  • no manual configuration management after the initial installation

Which technology supports these objectives?

  • A Ansible
  • B Cisco Intersight
  • C Chef
  • D POAP
Explanation

PowerOn Auto Provisioning (POAP) automates first-time Cisco Nexus switch deployment. When no startup configuration is present, POAP obtains bootstrap information through DHCP, retrieves a provisioning script from a TFTP server, and uses it to install the required software image and configuration. DHCP information is used only during the POAP process, which fits a Day 0 deployment without ongoing manual configuration management.
