Hi,

Is it possible to ZTP a pair of 6300M switches connected via DAC which are factory default? 

Scenario: 2 x 6300M switches in factory default state. Connected via DAC not using auto stacking ports. ZTP via Central using mgmt ports on each switch. Then configure the stack via Central.

Or would you connect them via auto stacking ports then ZTP?

The idea is to have someone onsite racking the switches and patching them in to enable ZTP. Then all config being performed via Central. This is what zero touch should be right?

Cheers
James

i would go with the option of auto-stack.

ZTP doesn't work if you change the config from factory default. Would connecting them via auto stacking ports then try to ZTP work??
