Zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) is an information technology term that refers to the process of remotely programming large numbers of network devices such as switches and routers without having to manually program each one individually.[1] The process is intended to save configuration time while reducing errors.[2] The process can also be used to update existing systems using scripts.[3]

A basic system requires a network device that supports ZTP, a server that supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), and a file server.[4] When a ZTP-enabled device is powered on, the device's boot file sets up configuration parameters. A switch then sends a request using DHCP or TFTP to get the device's configuration file from a central location. The file then runs and configures ports, IP addresses and other server parameters for each location.[5]
