Can IMC be used for ZTP of Aruba CX switches??

[HasarangaWanind]

Hi,

I would like to ask if it is possible to use IMC ZTP flow process for the Aruba OS and Comware switches on the Aruba CX switches?

I understand that IMC uses some default parameters for ZTP. One of them is telnet. If I am not mistaken, telnet server is not available on the CX switch. 

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello,

That's correct, the main reason iMC would currently have issues with ZTP on AOS-CX is due to Telnet being required with the initial configuration. A future version (likely an upcoming patch release for E0706) should include a change with which iMC will automatically use the CLI access protocol specified for the ZTP device during the entire process, rather than after the configuration deployment is done. That should allow ZTP to work for AOS-CX devices as well.

If you need more info about when this (and ZTP support for AOS-CX in general) would be implemented, please check with your HPE Sales/Account Manager contact.
