Hello Chris and Jö,
I've been doing some testing with this the last few weeks in a Proof of Concept for a customer.
I've managed to get ZTP working with some minor items to take into account.
First the firmware needs to be at the correct level (VSF and Central is only supported in 16.07 and later I believe)
Second switch needs to be in factory default
Third switch shouldn't be connected to Central before.
The steps I take are as follows:
First I add the serial number and mac to Central
second upload the correct variables to central
I unbox the switch
Connect it to the network
switch get's ip address, dns and ntp from network
Switch connects to Central, gets config and automaticly reboots
Unbox the second and third switch
connect the VSF cables
second and third switch reboot and become stack members.
In the variables you need to make sure all the mac addresses for all the switches in the stack are defined correctly
"_sys_lan_mac":"00:fd:45:aa:bb:cc",
"_sys_serial":"CN74xxxx",
"_sys_stack_command": "vsf

link 2 name \"I-Link1_2\"
exit

",
"_sys_template_header": "; hpStack_WC Configuration Editor; Created on release #WC.16.07.0003
; Ver #14:01.4f.f8.1d.9b.3f.bf.bb.ef.7c.59.fc.6b.fb.9f.fc.ff.ff.37.ef:02
",
Second the template header needs to be the one for a stacked setup. single unit is different.
One thing I discovered during testing is the way Central handles the conversion from a stacked unit back to single unit. It doesn't.
So I you've tested and a stacked unit succesfully connected and you want ot test again. Make sure to disconnect the unit and after a while you can delete the stacked switch from central. Now you can start over again by puting the switch in factory default.
I hope this helps,
Regards,
Rens
