Abstract: A policy driven zero touch provisioning (ZTP) system implements techniques for policy driven ZTP of network devices. One or more ZTP policies, configurations and/or boot images associated with one or more network devices are stored in a database. Upon execution of a boot sequence, a network device automatically sends a DHCP request including network device identification information to the policy driven ZTP system. The policy driven ZTP system identifies a matching ZTP policy having conditions that match the network device identification information. The ZTP system generates a DHCP response including IP leasing information, a boot configuration information by which a boot configuration may be automatically obtained, and/or boot image information by which a boot image may be automatically obtained as defined by the matching ZTP policy. The techniques allow ZTP policies to be defined with device-level granularity for boot configuration and/or boot images.
