  • run_bash_script action allows users to run bash scripts during the bootstrap process
  • run_cli_commands action allows users to run CLI commands during the bootstrap process
  • config-handlers can be used in order to trigger scripts on the server on PUT startup-config request completion
  • The auto replace_config action which is added to the definition whenever a startup-config file is present in a node’s folder is now the first action in the definition which is sent to the client. This enables performing configuration updates during ZTR (Zero Touch Replacement) via ‘always_execute’ add_config actions in the definition file. One particularly interesting use-case is replacing one node with another one of a different model.
  • ztps --clear-resources clears all resource allocations
  • server-side logs are timestamped by default
  • ZTP Server shows running version on-startup
