Adopt Layer 3 Access Points with Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP)
Use Case
Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) is designed to streamline device adoption for layer 3, cloud-hosted UniFi deployments. It allows you to assign new devices to existing UniFi sites without manually configuring the inform-address of the site via SSH or other means.
Note: ZTP offers no additional benefit over the standard adoption process if you are using a local UniFi Cloud Gateway or other UniFi Console.
Requirements
- U7 Pro Max - Support for other devices will be added soon.
- UniFi Network Version 8.2.71+
- UniFi OS Version 4.0
Using ZTP
- Scan and Add: Scan the device's QR code or manually enter the 9-character ZTP code to add the device to your inventory.
- Assign to Site: Assign the device to a site.
- Connect and Adopt: Connect the device to the network. It will auto-adopt within a few minutes.
ZTP Usage and Expiration
Each ZTP code can be reused unless the device is factory reset using the reset button. If the device is reset this way, the ZTP code will be permanently disabled to prevent unauthorized use, especially in the case of a resold device. This safeguard is in place to ensure that the original owner cannot re-adopt the device after it has changed hands.
Note: If the device is reset remotely, ZTP can still be used to re-adopt the device without needing to visit the site again.
