Zero Touch Provisioning
ZTP enables the auto-configuration of factory-default switches without requiring any manual setup process. It helps the administrators to deploy their fleet of switches at multiple branches without requiring a technical expert onsite. It is of use for distributed enterprises (for example: hotels, hospitals, retail stores, educational institutions, and other enterprises) where an administrator is not available at every site.
Aruba offers ZTP solution which reduces the overall cost of ownership. Aruba ships infrastructure devices such as switches, access points, and controllers directly to the site of usage. With ZTP, even a nontechnical user (for example: store manager in a retail chain or a class teacher in a school) can deploy devices at site. When the devices are connected to AirWave or Central, ZTP automatically sets up the required firmware and configurations, and services without the need for technical expertise on site.
