A municipal fabric rollout fails because new leaves obtain DHCP addresses but never retrieve a configuration file. Which missing ZTP element best explains this failure?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
DHCP handing out an address is like giving a courier a street address but no warehouse location. Without a reachable file server pointing to the config (and often the Junos image), ZTP stalls after the lease. The municipal rollout needs that file path, not overlay EVPN magic, to finish day-0.
Full Explanation
ZTP depends on more than an IP lease. After DHCP provides addressing and boot/file pointers, the device must reach a file server that stores the intended configuration and often the software image. Overlay EVPN or underlay IGP choice does not substitute for that provisioning path. When DHCP succeeds but config never arrives, validate file-server reachability, DHCP options that identify the server/path, and artifact availability.
