Abstract: Systems are methods are described which allow for “zero-touch” provisioning (ZTP) to be used to seamlessly bring up devices such as Gateways/Access Points/Switches or any other networking devices connected over different uplink types such as aggregated links (Static LAG, LACP), trunk ports, and the like. Provisioning is adapted specifically for trunk and/or LACP ports in order to maintain the automation and optimization benefits typically provided by ZTP. A method can include transmitting a discover message, and receiving a response message based on the discover message. Then, determining whether a pre-defined extension is included in the response message that indicates a port type and a virtual local area network (VLAN) configuration. Automatic configuration of one or more ports and a VLAN can be performed as indicated by the pre-defined extension. Thus, ZTP can be restarted in accordance with the configuration of the network device.
