Which TWO steps are required to successfully deploy a new branch ION device using Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP)?

Trap 1: Create a manual IPsec tunnel to the hub

The Controller automates this.

Trap 2: Install a local management agent

The ION includes the management agent.

Study all Deployment And Configuration common traps →

A
Ensure the WAN interface has internet connectivity
Connectivity is required for the device to reach the Controller.
B
Create a manual IPsec tunnel to the hub
Why wrong: The Controller automates this.
C
Install a local management agent
Why wrong: The ION includes the management agent.
D
Manually pre-configure all routing tables
Wait, the answer is A and C. Manually pre-configuring routes defeats ZTP. Let's re-eval: Registering the serial number and ensuring WAN reachability is required. Correct: A and C. Corrected explanation: The serial number must be added to the Controller, and the device must have internet access to reach the Controller.
E
Register the ION device serial number in the Controller
Registration is required for the Controller to recognize the device.
