ZTP+ - System ID and nick name

EF — Fri, 23 May 2025 09:49:11 GMT

Hi Team,

Im using ZTP to onboard new devices to fabric and works fine.

With Topology and Service definitions I load desired Fabric and services values, and then with "Onboard Mgmt VLAN" from Github (ExtremeScripting/XMC_XIQ-SE/oneview_workflows/xwf/Onboard_Mgmt_VLAN-25.2.11.23v113.xwf at master · extremenetworks/ExtremeScripting · GitHub) change the mgmt vlan, put hostname and IP.

But I dont know how to change the system id and nick-name of the devices because they use aleatories one.

Any idea?

Regards

For access switches, we recommend keeping the chassis MAC as system-id and getting the nickname from nickname server (which you would configure on your core switches). That reduces the chances of ending up with a duplicate system-id/nickname.

But if you really want to go set specific system-id/nickname, then you can use the ACT workflow:
https://github.com/extremenetworks/ExtremeScripting/blob/master/XMC_XIQ-SE/oneview_workflows/xwf/Apply_Config_Template_Workflow.pdf

You can execute it right after the Onboard Mgmt VLAN, just specify it as Follow-on workflow in the Onboard Mgmt VLAN imputs, and the ACT workflow can read system-id/nickname values out of the same CSV file if you like.
