Also you aware about that the virtual networks are provisioned and managed independent of the underlying hardware, so here is the solution provided by VMware named as VMware NSX which is a network virtualization solution that allows you to build software-defined networks in virtualized datacenters. VMware NSX is the VMware SDN network virtualization and security platform that emerged from VMware after they acquired Nicira in 2012. This acquisition launched VMware into the software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) world.

What is Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP)?

Zero touch provisioning or so called ZTP is the way to automatic configuration on Cisco vEdge devices for which almost zero manual intervention required. If we talk about the Zero touch provisioning, Networking traditionally has been a complex and manual for IT. The advent of SDN changed it all. Out of all benefits of SD-WAN, ZTP is among the top three. With ZTP, networking is automated and an intent driven process. Zero touch provisioning is a switch, that simplifies provisioning and configuration of devices automatically without any manual intervention. The switch (ZTP) downloads and runs the centrally stored configuration, which it acquires by sending a request through DHCP or TFTP. ZTP seamlessly allows IT to update OSs, deploy patches and bug fixes and embed additional features prior to connection. Using Scripts, ZTP can also connect to configuration management platforms or a custom tool. ZTP relies on below service which are: A license file provided ...
