ZTP Simulation in GNS3

    Attempting to simulate some future ZTP work in GNS3 with the ArubaOS-CXSimulationSoftware10.04.0001-1.  By default, it looks like a switch would have it's mgmt port configure for ip dhcp.  However, this virtual O/S comes with all ports administratively down.  So at a minimum, I need to adjust the config to up one of the interfaces and save it.  After I reboot it, it looks like DHCP and ZTP starts to work, because it grabs the configuration file but then logs this Status : Aborted - Custom startup configuration detected:

    switch#
    switch# show ztp
    information Information about ZTP
    switch# show ztp information
    TFTP Server : NA
    Image File : NA
    Configuration File : NA
    Status : Aborted - Custom startup configuration detected

     

    It could be that I just can't simulate this due to the way the virtual O/S works?  Assume ZTP stops if it detects any configuration in any form and that is why it doesn't work?
