Explanation

POAP (Power On Auto Provisioning) automates the initial provisioning of a Cisco Nexus switch on first boot. The process works as follows: the switch sends a DHCP request to obtain an IP address and discover the location of a provisioning server; the DHCP server responds with an IP address and the URL or address of a TFTP/HTTP server; the switch then downloads a Python script from that server to complete configuration. If POAP fails, the two most common causes are: (B) the DHCP server is unavailable or misconfigured, preventing the switch from getting bootstrap IP information and the server location; and (E) the TFTP server is unreachable or does not contain the expected configuration script. POAP does not require a special feature license (A), a signed script (D) by default, or a match between the script and local bootflash (C) at the initial POAP stage.
