Site Engine ZTP+ Default VLAN Issue

coadmin — Mon, 18 Aug 2025 12:20:39 GMT

New Extreme customer, trying out Site Engine. We want to use the ZTP+ feature to upgrade and then onboard new EXOS switches. The big issue we are running into is that any ZTP+ assigned IP address gets assigned to the Default VLAN and NOT the Management Interface/Data VLAN. This is with DHCP or trying to assign an IP address range in the ZTP Use Discovered boxes.

I can use CLI to set up an IP address, but I would like to get the device online, set the port templates, and start plugging stuff in without having to do that. Any suggestions on what I am missing?

Hello,

The issue is that during ZTP+, the switch assigns the IP to the default VLAN because the management VLAN interface isn’t created yet. To fix this, either have your DHCP server send the VLAN info (so ZTP+ can assign the IP to the right VLAN) or add a post-ZTP step in your Site Engine template that creates the management VLAN interface and moves the IP there automatically. That way, you won’t have to manually set it via CLI every time.

Hi,

You can configure the management VLAN in the port if you are using FA.

fa management i-sid 21234 c-vid 1234

The switch will create the VLAN and put management address in that VLAN.
