User Privileges Required for the DHCP and File Server While Using Zero Touch Provisioning
Ensure that you have the following user privileges on the DHCP server and the file server prior to configuring them for zero touch provisioning (ZTP).
- DHCP server—Ensure that the DHCP user has permissions
to:
- write to the
dhcpd.conf
file on the DHCP server.Note: To fetch the dhcp.conf file, ensure that the DHCP server and the Layer 3 Fabric devices are in the same subnets. If you are not in the same subnet, you must specify the gateway IP address that these devices can use to reach Network Director and fetch the dhcp.conf file. For information about specifying the gateway IP address, see, Creating Layer 3 Fabrics.
- write to the
/etc/dhcp/ddns-keys
directory - copy the file
dhcpd.conf
to the filedhcpdbacknd.conf
- start the
isc-dhcp-server
service

modify certain configurations in the server configuration file to
enable Network Director to access the file server. Change the configuration
settings for the following file servers, depending on the file server
type and the operating system that is running on the file server:
- For FTP server running CentOS (or any other FreeBSD-based
servers)—Modify the configuration in the
/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
file as follows:anonymous_enable=YES
anon_upload_enable=YES
anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
file_open_mode=0644
anon_umask=033 - For TFTP running on a Linux server—Modify the configuration
in the
/etc/xinetd.d/tftp
file as follows:server_args = -c -s <dir>
disable = no
- For FTP server running CentOS (or any other FreeBSD-based
servers)—Modify the configuration in the
