Chapter 5 Configuring the Switch Arista switches ship from the factory in Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) mode. ZTP configures the switch without user intervention by downloading a startup configuration file or a boot script from a location specified by a DHCP server. To manually configure a switch, ZTP is bypassed. The initial configuration provides one username (admin) that is accessible only through the console port because it has no password.

11. When the management port IP address is configured, use this command to access the switch from a host, using the address configured in step 9: ssh admin@192.0.2.8 Refer to the Arista Networks User Manual for complete switch configuration information.
