Auto-boot process

In this process, the node discovers and provisions the chassis and installed cards.

1. The node is powered up.

2. The out-of-band management port is checked for link connectivity. If a link is not found, the in-band management ports are checked for a link.

3. The first two card or MDA slots are auto-provisioned based on the installed card types. See ZTP overview for information about the specific card or MDA slots that are used.

4. The auto-boot process switches control to the auto-provisioning process.

See Auto-boot process for more information about the auto-boot process.
