ZTP - guesthell does not load after loading startup script

_|brt.drml|_ — Thu, 14 Oct 2021 13:12:05 GMT

Hi,

Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:
Loading 9K/python_script.py from 10.15.255.52 (via Vlan990): !
[OK - 8646 bytes]

If I use the debug from my tftpd server I get this:

The script is not downloaded, resulting in a fail and the switch starts in default mode.

Any idea?

Solved it,

The issue was that the tftp blocksize was defaulted to 8192.

On my network the packets got fragmented and therefore the script download failed.

Reducing to a lower blocksize did not work either. Why: when rebooting, after wr erase the c9300 switch to its defaults, the blocksize was again set to default.

i enabled a webs server with http:80 and then the start-up did work again.

As a solution I enabled the start-up on the web-server and the script can then fetch some files on the tftp to complete the installation.
